ODOT announces start of studded tire season
The studded tire season
in Oregon began Thursday,
Nov. 1, and continues through
March 31, 2019.
ODOT encourages drivers
to consider other types of trac-
tion tires or chains. If you must
travel when weather conditions
present difficulties, use other
types of traction tires or chains,
or postpone your travel until
conditions change for the bet-
ter. ODOT’s latest study (2014)
concluded studded tires cause
about $8.5 million in damage
each year on state highways.
Alternatives to studded tires
• Chains: Link chains, cable
chains or other devices that
attach to the wheel, vehicle, or
outside of the tire that are spe-
cifically designed to increase
traction on snow and ice. Driv-
ers should note that link chains
may not be recommended for
use on some types of vehicles;
check your owner’s manual.
• Other traction tires: Other
types of traction tires are avail-
able. These traction tires meet
Rubber Manufactur-ers Asso-
ciation standards for use in se-
vere snow conditions and car-
ry a special symbol on the tire
sidewall showing a three-peak-
ed mountain and snowflake.
They work about as well as
studded tires on ice, but work
better than studded tires or reg-
ular tires in most other winter
conditions. And they cause no
more damage to road surfaces
than regular tires.

Time change requires preparation for drivers
SALEM — It’s not the time
change that bothers us (some
say we’re getting an extra hour
this time of year — doesn’t mat-
ter); it’s the impact on circadian
rhythm or the physical, mental
and behavioral changes that fol-
low our typical 24-hour cycle.
Disturbance of this cycle, ac-
cording to the National Safety
Council, is a key risk factor for
safety incidents. In the trans-
portation industry, that means
crashes.
And no good comes out of
any kind of crash.
Safety advocates encourage
drivers prepare for this Sun-
day’s time change by adjusting
sleep habits a few days ahead
of the change itself. That way,
you’ll reduce the impact to your
circadian cycle.
“Getting a good night’s sleep
is the best way to fend off
drowsy driving,” said Troy E.
Costales, ODOT’s Safety Divi-
sion administrator. And getting
a couple of good night’s sleep in
a row is even better.
Over the past five years in
Oregon, 51 people have died
in 48 crashes where drowsy
driving or fatigue was a fac-
tor. 2016 was an especially bad
year, when 15 people died in 12
drowsy driving-related crashes.
Our strong economy, more
traffic on the roads and peo-
ple trying to get a lot done in a
short time can all contribute to
creating a tired driver. Oregon’s
numbers show the trend in
drowsy driving is heading the
wrong way (see attached chart)
— and that’s a tragedy waiting
to happen.
Adults generally need seven
to nine hours of sleep to achieve
peak performance, but research
indicates 3-in-10 get less than
six hours, according to NSC.
Everyone knows you don’t drive
after drinking, and it should be
the same when you are tired:
take personal responsibility and
don’t get behind the wheel in
the first place.
DrowsyDriving.org has im-
portant information to help
you, your friends and family
avoid fatigued driving.
