REGIONAL NEWS FROM THE NORTHWEST State senator may try to increase speed limit ■ SPEED: Lawmaker may introduce legislation that will raise the speed limit to as much as 75 mph PORTLAND (AIM - A shite lawmaker says he is ready !o propose legislation to increase some speed limits on Oregon highways now that President Clinton has signed a transporta tion bill that gets rid of federal speed limits. State Sen Handy Miller, K Lake Oswego, says he may intro duce legislation at a special session in February that could raise speed limits on some Ore gon highways to as much as 75 mph. But that worries state transportation officials who say that the death toll on Oregon highways this year could jump as much as 15 percent "Too many people are dying right now on our highways, and I would not be anxious to see speeds increase." said Ed Marges, manager of the trans portation department's safety section. Even without the federal lim its, state law sets the highway speed limit at 55 mph. except on rural interstate freeways where the limit is 65 mph. Miller, a longtime proponent for increasing some speed lim its, said he would like to make the posted speeds a rei ommen dation that is left up to a driver's judgment. In addition to increases to 70 or 75 mph on some stretches of interstate freeway. Miller said increases on other highways would be reasonable. He said, for example, the portion of U S. Highway 97 between Bend and Redmond is newer and in better shape than some parts of Inter state 5 — and vet the speed limit on U S 97 has been 55 mph "That, over time, just breeds disrespect for the law," Miller said, adding that he supports reduced speed limits in haz ardous areas such as Interstate 5's Torwilliger curves in south Portland. Miller said he would like to see a transportation committee established to consider changes — and hi‘'d like to give local offu mis more control. "We ought to allow local areas to determine what is a safe and prudent speed in areas where they have jurisdiction," Miller said Marges said the state could consider changes on a case-by case basis But he would want the changes to be monitored to compare nci idents and deaths on that stretch of highway to previous years I -fist year, 494 people died on Oregon highways. Marges said This year, that number is expected to jump to about 570 people. "That is real disturbing to us," he said, adding that — by com pari son 1990 to 1994 were the lowest fatality years since 1970. He attributed the increase to a basic disregard for safety, which includes increased speeds and the use of alcohol. "People |iist aren't thoughtful or courteous behind the wheel." Marges said. "People just don't think it's going to happen to them."
