On photo radar: signs and different laws

Written August 23rd, 2025 by Hasso Hering

A few days ago a reader said in the comments on a traffic-camera story that he was mailed a warning ticket for speeding on Santiam Road near Geary Street. He hadn’t seen any signs about cameras, and what, anyway, is the posted speed?

Heads up, Albany drivers: The third and fourth sets of automated traffic cameras now are active and ready to record anyone running a red light or driving too fast.

A Facebook post drew my attention Tuesday to the installation of Albany’s third set of traffic cameras, on Santiam Road at Geary Street. The bike took me there on Tuesday night.

Council open to Cumberland request

Written December 2nd, 2023 by Hasso Hering

With the exterior restored and a new coat of paint, the former Cumberland Church looked good when I passed it on a bike ride last month. Now the organizers of the Cumberland Community Events Center hope the Albany City Council can help their project along.


Not an emergency, but call was answered

Those phone numbers posted at rail crossings? Guess what: Somebody actually answers when you call.


Not your ordinary railroad train

Now that was a weird-looking train that inched its way across Albany streets on Wednesday morning.
