Reporting Traffic Signal Malfunctions

To report a malfunctioning traffic signal in Portland, Oregon, please call the dispatch hotline at 503-823-1700 or email PDXroads@portlandoregon.gov

Many of us have noticed the traffic (pedestrian!) signal "time change" at SE 60th and Salmon, which seems to have occurred since the latest road repairs (for which we are grateful).
