Freeway Speed
Not For Everyone
When Oregon's new rural inter
state freeway speed limit goes into
effect the last week in September,
not everyone will be allowed to go
65 all the time.
"The law in Oregon requires a 55
rnile-an-hour maximum speed for
trucks and non-commercial buses,
such as worker transport, church
and school buses. That will hold
true even in the sections that are
signed for 65 for the rest of the dri
ving public," said L.E. George,
Highway Division traffic engineer.
George told the Transportation
Commission Tuesday that all drivers
will have to slow down on two sec
tions of Interstate 5 because of safe
ty considerations.
One section near Mrytle Creek
will remain at the present posted
speed of 50 miles-per-hour due to a
series of sharp curves. An 11 mile
section of I-5 from south of Ashland
to the California state line will also
keep the current 55 mile-per-hour
speed as it traverses the steep
grades and tight curves of the Siski
you Summit.
The federal speed law allowing
states to raise rural freeway speeds
will also keep urban freeways in
Medford, Eugene, Salem and Port
land at 55 miles-per-hour, George
said.
Altogether, 16 percent of Ore
gon's 720 mile long interstate sys
tem will stay at 55 miles-per-hour or
less, George added.
The picnic will take the place of the annual World Music Festival, an
all-day event sponsored by World Music since 1983. Last year's festival
assembled performers of nearly 20 different kinds of folk and ethnic music.
The organization's board decided to concentrate on producing individual
concerts and projects in 1987, with the summer festival to resume in 1988.
This year's mini-festival is designed both to keep the festival's spirit alive
and to kick off planning for the 1987 festival.
