Eugene Police lead multi-agency speed patrol resulting in 184 traffic stops

Eugene, OR – The Eugene Police Department’s Traffic Safety Unit conducted a large-scale Interagency Speed Saturation Patrol across the Eugene metro area on July 16, 2025, resulting in 184 traffic stops and multiple citations and arrests. The coordinated enforcement effort brought together officers and deputies from several agencies to focus on speed-related violations and other high-complaint driving behaviors.
Participating agencies included Eugene Police Patrol, Springfield Police Traffic Unit, Oregon State Police, Lane County Sheriff’s Office, and Junction City Police Department. The patrol targeted key roadways known for frequent speeding issues, including Beltline Road, Interstate 105/Highway 126, Interstate 5, Delta Highway, Highway 99, and nearby connecting roads.
Out of the 184 traffic stops made during the patrol, 112 were specifically for speeding. Officers also conducted 15 stops for seatbelt violations, nine for distracted driving, and three for improper lane usage. In total, the operation resulted in 111 citations and 93 warnings.
In addition to speed-related offenses, officers cited drivers for a range of other violations, such as illegal windshield tinting, improper display or altered license plates, failure to carry a driver’s license, lack of insurance, expired licenses, and violations of Oregon’s “Move-Over” law. There were 12 citations issued for driving while suspended, three arrests for criminal driving while suspended, and two vehicle impounds.
The majority of officers participating in the patrol were working under ODOT/NHTSA grant-funded overtime, which supports enhanced enforcement efforts aimed at improving road safety.
The Eugene Police Department expressed appreciation for the collaboration among agencies and reaffirmed their commitment to ongoing, high-visibility enforcement operations. The Traffic Safety Unit noted that these joint efforts are part of a larger strategy to address driver behavior that frequently leads to complaints and safety concerns across the community.
Future operations are planned as part of a continued partnership to promote safer roadways throughout the region.
