What I find interesting is the three of the four state representatives
(Gold Beach, Medford, and Klamath Falls) are from Southern portion of
the State and only one is from a major metro area (Happy Valley).

Most of these places depend on tourist dollars for revenues and also
tickets. How many of us have been caught in a small town going over
the speed limit slightly and the ticket is over $100. Most officers in
these areas are more likely to stop a cyclist or someone riding a bike
write a ticket instead of a major city officer. Most likely the person
out of town will pay the $25 instead of fussing over the issue.
