    Does anyone know if the scales in Banning have cameras if you skip (run) them?

    Are you talking bypassing or running them?
    If you are west bound, I would think long and hard before I ran them, and make sure I had a pocket full of money to boot. lol

    It has been a while, but the last several times I was through there east bound, even if they were there they were closed.

    I was reading some threads about how some of the scale houses had cameras and I was wondering if the banning scales had cameras.

    Today almost all scales have cameras . You can skip it. Done many times, nobody stopped. I am talking about eastbound. Westbound is different story ;-)

    What’s with the westbound? Everyone talks about it, but no one says what happens. You skipped the eastbound while it was open? No ticket?

    Have you never seen a t-shirt that says, I survived the banning scales. lol
    I do not know how they are now, but they had a terrible reputation for years.
