Relating to photo radar in highway work zones.
SB 711 updates Oregon's photo radar rules for highway work zones. It requires photo radar units to operate within 100 yards of highway workers (or temporary road changes like lane shifts), on the same roadway for divided highways, and mandates specific signage 100-400 yards ahead of the zone. Drivers could receive speeding tickets only if officers operate radar from marked vehicles with visible speed displays, and the department must report biennially on safety impacts and public acceptance. The bill directly affects drivers in work zones, highway workers (who gain protected zones), and law enforcement agencies implementing the program.
