Ramp meters
being used on
Interstate 5
The ramp meter signal
system on 1-6 North w ill be
turned on Wednesday, Jan. 7.
Signals on 1-6 freeway on-
ramps between the Broad
way and Interstate bridges
w ill operate fro m 6 :30 a.m. to
9:30 a.m., southbound only,
and from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30
p.m.,
northbound
only.
Mondays through Fridays
Although ramp metering has
been in effect for several
years in ten different states,
the 1-6 system marks a first
fo r the Northwest.
Oregon Department of
Transportation crews w ill be
stationed at the on-ramps
Monday, Jan. 5 from 3:30
p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and
Tuesday. Jan 6 from 6:30
a.m. to 9:30 a.m. to distribute
flyers which give notification
to motorists of the Wed
nesday tum-on date and hoi*
to use the system.
Ramp
metering
is
designed to ease tra ffic
congestion during rush hours
by spreading out the tra ffic
By controlling the flow of
tra ffic entertng the freeway,
stop and go conditions on the
freeway are reduced This
results in fewer accidents
and improved gas mileage
Average rush hour speed on
1-6 is expected to increase
from 10 to 35 miles per hour
Motorists w ill find the
ramp meter signal different
from
intersection
tra ffic
signals in that the meter w ill
flash from green to red with
no interm ittent yellow light.
The signal cyde w ill be short
w ith only two seconds of
green allowing just one car
at a tim e to go through the
signal and enter the freeway
The red time w ill vary
depending upon the ramp,
from two to thirteen seconds
According to Robert Both
man. Metropolitan Adminis
tra to r fo r the Oregon
D ep a rtm e nt
of
T ra n s
portation. changing driving
habits of some motorists is
necessary
to make the
system work to everyone's
advantage.
“ Motorists who could be
entering 1-6 as fa r back as
Going Street now using city
streets to avoid congestion on
the freeway and are then
entering the freeway from
Umon-Swift’ said Bothman.
“ I f people-continue to use the
freeway this way with the
ramp meters in use. they w ill
find excessive and un
necessary waits ”
Bothman emphasizes that
with
ramp
metering,
freeway congestion w ill be
significantly reduced. “ The
freeway w ill now be the best
route.”
“ I f motorists learn to use
the ramp nearest to where
they start their tn p , they w ill
save themselves a good deal
of time and fru stra tio n '’, said
Bothman
A carpool lane is provided
at
each
on-ramp
for
emergency vehicles, buses
and vehicles w ith more than
one occupant. Motorists who
qualify for use of this special
lane do not have to stop for
the signal
Oregon State Police w ill
enforce the signal system
The bond fee is $30 both for
violators who run the red
light and single occupant
vehicles in the carpool lane
