The State HP or County Patrol can either be posted off the side of the highway partly hidden in the trees or behind a rise on the hill. The posted speed is 55 MPH, while the normal flow is more like 65. Don't drive a red car.

Comment (5/2003): At Lava Butte, on Highway 97 South, the County and State Police pull off the highway into the woods and wait. If you drive 64, with your headlights on, they will leave you alone.

Comment (7/2003): Bend also has motorcycle cops that will enforce these speed traps as they will sit hiding in trees and they are also DOT inspectors and they will get you even if your trailer is not all the way through an intersection when the traffic light turns red 170.00 ticket and it will go on your record for disobeying a traffic control device.

Comment (6/2004): I agree and have lived in area for then years. Be careful traveling HW 97 all the way from Bend to Redmond both east and west and obey speed limit of 55 until well past the High Desert Museum South and Redmond north.

Operated operated in spring and summer until Labor Day. Reduction from 55 to 45 mph speed limit is posted at Hwy 6 junction on 47N into town. At the first stoplight into town is a busy intersection, into a small stripmall. The reduction to 25mph is posted 50' North of the intersection, conveniently located with school zone speed restrictions. The school is located at this intersection to the next intersection, Trellis St. For tourists, and others not familiar with the area, it is very easy to miss the 25 mph posting, when your attention is divided between turning traffic at the intersection, the overhead traffic light. If the light is green, as you approach the intersection, it is easy to integrate this sign with the array of school zone warning signs, including the flashing yellow lights, that are turned off in the summer. If you are into the center lane, the speed limit sign can be obscured by RV, and larger vehicles turning right into the shopping area. The fine is typically $109. Court appearances are in North Bend, set by the citing officer, usually on a date 1 to 2 months from issue of citation, time of court appearance is usually shown as 7:00pm. The small Banks force, works two cars at this trap, and frequently stops and cites two to three cars at the same time.

there's usually a cop car or motorcycle cop, he usually hides behind some trees on a smaller intersecting street. There's a fast part thats like 55 mph or so, then all of a sudden it goes into a residential area thats only 25 mph, and its hard to slow down that much.

The new express way through Bend has a posted 45 mile an hour limit. Many people drive up to 55 without getting stopped. Others drive much faster as it seems like an express way, but watch out as anthing much over 55 can get you an expensive ticket. Oregon in general has high bails for speeding tickets as the State is always broke.
