Neighborhood Speed Watch Program
The Tigard Police Department sponsors a proactive approach to help reduce speeds in "your"
Tigard neighborhoods with Speed Monitoring Trailers and the Neighborhood Speed Watch program.
Speed Cushion Program
In order to address concern raised by Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue (TVF&R), the City of Tigard
no longer utilizes speed humps/bumps, but uses Speed Cushions as an effective alternative.
Speed Cushions reduce vehicle speed while allowing emergency vehicles to straddle the device
and continue past the cushion without reducing valuable response time. The Capital
Construction & Transportation Division provides an opportunity for the installation
of speed cushions on your street based on specific eligibility criteria.

School Zone Safety
Senate Bill 179 was enacted during the 2003 legislature and put into practice on July 1, 2004.
This designated a school zone and the current speed statutes that govern school area speeds.
Please visit the Tigard Police Department web page for details on School Zone Safety
laws and speed limits associated with Senate Bill 179.
Note: School Zone Legislation Update:
The Oregon Legislative Assembly recently enrolled House Bill 2840* which will revise
school speed zone laws, effective July 1, 2006.

*House Bill 2840 will set a school speed limit of 20 mph when lights are flashing or,
if there are no flashing lights:
- From 7 AM to 5 PM on School Days for school zones adjacent to schools, and
- When Children Are Present for school crosswalks not adjacent to schools.
