For those in the Portland Metro area who are unaware, be careful driving through King City, it is a speed trap and raises a lot of revenue writting traffic citations. I worked on the border of King City for 11 years and saw them constantly pulling people over every day. King City is a rinky dinky one square mile 55+ retirement community just south of Tigard on 99W.

Please give us the details about how this speed trap is setup.
Hidden signs, no posted limit signs, etc.....
Please explain as to why it is a "trap" rather than just catching unsafe speeders..

Thanks

long as your obeying traffic laws, there should be nothing to worry about. I would also like to know more details about the "trap"

Heading northbound on 99W from the coast the speed limit changes from 55 to 45 right at the Tualatin River Bridge and cops sit there all the time with speed guns, around 50% of the time I drive through there I see them with someone pulled over writting a ticket.

And you assume those tickets were "unfair" vs. the usual fools who don't care about public safety?

King City itself is a 55+ community and probably doesn't want to deal with younger morons.
