Red-Light And Speed Safety Camera Program Returning Following Construction Completion (Photo) - 06/11/26
The City of Tualatin is notifying motorists that the automated traffic safety camera located at the intersection of SW Tualatin-Sherwood Road and SW Avery Street has been reactivated following an extended period of inactivity during nearby construction activities.
The safety camera system is designed to improve traffic safety by reducing dangerous driving behaviors at the intersection. The system will monitor and document vehicles that enter the intersection after the traffic signal has turned red, as well as vehicles traveling 11 miles per hour or more above the posted speed limit.
To provide drivers with an opportunity to adjust to the camera's return, the City has implemented a 30-day warning period, which began on June 10, 2026. During this period, drivers who commit a red-light or speed violation detected by the camera will receive a warning notice by mail rather than a citation.
After the 30-day warning period concludes, on July 9, 2026, eligible violations will result in citations being issued and mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle in accordance with Oregon law.
Studies have shown that automated traffic enforcement can help reduce red-light running, excessive speeding, and the risk of serious crashes at signalized intersections. The City encourages all motorists to obey traffic signals, follow posted speed limits, and drive attentively.
