The Traffic Division of the Portland Police Bureau are warning of increased presence in the downtown bus mall construction zones.

Commander Mark Kruger says he was contacted by a PDOT engineer in charge of the project who said they’ve seen,

“numerous examples of bicyclists disobeying road closure signs and riding through areas where heavy equipment is operating.”

Be warned: Police will be watching bicyclists closely in the area between SW Harrison and SW Market Streets.

Kruger says they “will take enforcement action if any violations are observed”.
