Freeway Signs To Urge Driver Courtesy 0OÍN CAR WASHES
Ifyou drive Interstate 5 betw een
Portland and Salem , y o u 'v e seen
them: slow er drivers in the center
and left lanes, and frustrated drivers
w eaving in and out o f traffic trying to
pass, creating a danger for fellow
I m otorists.
1.
E xperim ental signs on 1-5 be­
tween Salem and W ilsonville will
rem ind drivers to use the right and
(Renter lane for through travel, and
tfte center and left lanes for passing.
The signs are being installed by the
Qregon D epartm ent o f T ransporta­
tion during T ransportation Safety
M onth to prom pt safer driving in the
increasingly dense traffic on one o f
O reg o n’s busiest highways.
• “T he mix o f traffic sp e e d s--5 5
mph for trucks and 65 mph for cars -
- som etim es leads to frustration if
¿low er-m oving traffic uses the left
and center lanes,” said Brant W ill­
iams, O D O T traffic engineer. “The
new signs will rem ind drivers that
they should keep to the right w henev­
er possible, and that passing should
.always be done on the left.”
W illiams said drivers will see
three different signs when driving
the route. Tw o large signs in each
direction show a black-on-w hite pic­
togram o f three highway lanes, label­
ing the right lane as a travel lane, the
center lane as a passing/travel lane
and the left lane as a passing lane
only.
The tw o large signs have differ­
ent m essages across the bottom on a
bright yellow background. The first
says 'B e C ourteous - Keep Right
Except T o P ass’; the second says
‘Left Lane Y ield T o Faster T raffic.’
D rivers also will see sm aller black-
on-white signs along the left shoul­
der that say ‘Left Lane Yield To
Faster T raffic.’
The signs are being installed as
an experim ent to gauge driver reac­
tions. In six months, O D O T will eval­
uate how effective the signs are in
changing driving patterns.
“ W e’re rem inding drivers about
two basic safe driving rules: keep to
the right except when passing, and
only pass on the left, w here you are
more visible to other drivers,” said
W illiams. “ W hen drivers keep right,
it will cut dow n on im patient passers
w eaving through traffic. T h at's d an­
gerous behavior and puts everyone at
risk o f an accident.”
The suggestion for the signs
cam e from Rep Ken Strobeck, R-
Beaverton, who has been driving 1-5
every day to the Legislature. “ I’ve
seen a num ber o f close calls on the
freeway, with people passing on the
right and w eaving in and out o f traf­
fic,” Strobeck said. ‘ If y o u 're not
passing, keep to the right. It's the
safest and most courteous thing to
do.”
Strobeck and W illiam s said the
signs are not intended to give drivers
freedom to break the 65 mph limit.
“ If the safer drivers keep to the right,
I hope it'll be easier for the police to
spot the dangerous speeders out there
and stop them before they cause a
w reck,” Strobeck added.
“ T ra ffic co n g e stio n on th is
stretch o f 1-5 is only getting worse.
The new signs should help remind
everyone o f the driving rules o f the
road that will keep 1-5 safer for us
all,” Strobeck said.
