    Two weigh stations in Oregon triggered the red light on the prepass but the sign said Closed. The second station was definitely fully manned as I could see them giving me the stink eye on my way by. Guess I'll get a ticket in the mail now for their photo bypass, I don't know.

    Oregon has photo enforcement at most of the scales. They just send you a ticket and picture of you bypassing the scale.

    If the sign said closed I wouldn’t worry about it too much. I would’ve done the same thing.

    Maybe some will disagree but it seems like a dirty trick.
     
    Siinman and Mattflat362 Thank this.

    Can they see that you have a prepass red?

    I would think no.

    So then the closed sign wins?

    No idea how the system works with the prepass.
