(OCTOBER 15, 2021) Street racing is a problem in Portland. It is illegal. Police are trying to help.
City police worked with state police last week:
They saw more than 50 people racing in the streets.
They stopped 47 people.
They gave tickets to 21 people.
They arrested 2 people.
Street racing is dangerous. Fast cars can hurt other cars and pedestrians (people walking). They also make a lot of noise.
