How to Fight a Speed Camera Ticket in Beaverton, OR (2026)
IMPORTANT — OREGON IS NOT A NO-RECORD STATE: Beaverton intersection speed camera tickets and photo radar van tickets carry the same consequences as officer-issued citations for the same violations (ORS 810.437(7); ORS 810.444(5)). Conviction is reported to ODOT and appears on the Oregon driving record. Oregon has no numeric points system, but the record is visible to insurers. Beaverton added intersection speed cameras at its four existing red-light camera intersections in a phased rollout beginning October 2018 (authorized by Oregon SB 534, 2017, codified at ORS 810.437). The speed cameras enforce violations of 11 mph or more over the posted limit. In 2015/16, more than 3.7 million vehicles crossed the four camera-equipped intersections in one year; 94,862 of those (approximately 3%) were traveling 11 mph or more over the speed limit. During the 30-day warning-only phase-in (September 15 – October 15, 2018), 3,593 warnings were issued before citations began. Beaverton also operates photo radar vans (ORS 810.444) at variable locations based on complaints, community requests, traffic flow/crash data, and officer input. The vendor for fixed intersection cameras is Conduent; citation management and images are handled by ZeroFatality / NovoaGlobal, Inc.

Beaverton Deadline
30 days from the citation mailing date (ORS 810.437(1)(d)). The city must mail the citation within 10 business days of the violation (ORS 810.437(1)(c); confirmed by BPD FAQ for intersection speed violations). Note: the BPD FAQ's 10-business-day statement covers 'red light and intersection speed violations' — the mailing deadline for photo radar van citations under ORS 810.444 is not expressly confirmed in the same way; apply the late-mailing defense only to intersection speed citations without further confirmation for van citations.
Step 1 — View your citation images at payment.zerofatality.com. Step 2 — Respond within 30 days of the mailing date by choosing one of the options on the back of your citation: (A) Certificate of Innocence — sworn statement that you were not driving, with driver's license copy. Mandatory dismissal under ORS 810.437(6)(a) if properly submitted within 30 days. No driver ID required. Only submit if truthful — false sworn statement is perjury. (B) Certificate of Nonliability — for business/fleet vehicles (ORS 810.437(6)(b)). (C) Request trial at Beaverton Municipal Court — city bears burden by preponderance (ORS 153.076(2)). (D) Pay. Failure to respond within 30 days risks default judgment under ORS 153.102, which can lead to license suspension.

Beaverton intersection speed camera and photo radar van citations are Oregon traffic violations — NOT civil-penalty-only citations. Conviction is reported to ODOT and appears on the Oregon driving record. Oregon state-level defenses apply: Certificate of Innocence (ORS 810.437(6)(a) — mandatory dismissal if properly submitted; no driver ID required), late-mailing defense (10-business-day confirmed for intersection speed citations by ORS 810.437(1)(c) and BPD FAQ — do not apply to van citations without further confirmation of ORS 810.444 deadline), Certificate of Nonliability for business vehicles (ORS 810.437(6)(b)), signage non-compliance for photo radar van (ORS 810.438(2)(d) — van must post a 'Traffic Laws Photo Enforced' sign 100–400 yards before the deployment site), and plate/vehicle mismatch. The Oregon state page covers the full framework; this page adds Beaverton's specific forum (Beaverton Municipal Court), the four intersection locations with speed-enforcement start dates, the 3.7M-vehicle / 94,862-speeders statistic, the record-consequence framing, and the ZeroFatality image portal.

Does a Beaverton speed camera ticket go on my driving record?
Yes. A Beaverton intersection speed camera ticket or photo radar van ticket is a traffic violation under Oregon law with the same consequences as any other traffic violation for the same offense (ORS 810.437(7); ORS 810.444(5)). Conviction is reported to ODOT and appears on your Oregon driving record. Oregon has no numeric points system, but the record entry can affect your insurance rates when insurers review your record.
How much is an intersection speed camera ticket in Beaverton?
Beaverton's intersection speed cameras enforce speeding of 11 mph or more over the posted limit. The fine depends on how fast you were going: 11–20 mph over the limit is a Class C violation with a $165 presumptive fine; 21–30 mph over is a Class B violation with a $265 presumptive fine; more than 30 mph over is a Class A violation with a $440 presumptive fine. Like red-light camera tickets, these go on your Oregon driving record.
I wasn't driving the car when the Beaverton speed camera fired — what do I do?
Submit a Certificate of Innocence within 30 days of the citation mailing date — a sworn statement affirming you were not driving, with a photocopy of your driver's license. Oregon law (ORS 810.437(6)(a)) requires Beaverton Municipal Court to dismiss the citation if a properly completed Certificate is submitted on time. You do not need to name the actual driver. Only submit if truthful — submitting a false sworn statement is perjury.
What is the deadline to contest a Beaverton speed camera ticket?
30 days from the date the citation was mailed. The city must mail intersection speed citations within 10 business days of the violation under ORS 810.437(1)(c) — keep your original envelope. If the postmark is more than 10 business days after the violation date, the late-mailing defense may apply. Failure to respond within 30 days risks a default judgment under ORS 153.102, which can lead to license suspension.
Does a Beaverton photo radar van ticket go on my record?
Yes. A photo radar van ticket issued in Beaverton is a traffic violation under ORS 810.444(5) with the same consequences as an officer-issued citation — reported to ODOT and appearing on your Oregon driving record. Oregon has no numeric points system, but the conviction is visible to insurers. The presumptive fine for 11–20 mph over the limit is $165; in a school zone the fine may double to $325 under ORS 153.020.
