ON THE SCENIC NORTH SANTIAM HIGHWAY — OREGON’S FAST GROWING VACATION WONDERLAND
VOLUME XXII
NUMBER 38
Up and Down
The Avenue
By Don Moffatt
I think possibly this new
highway law passed by the
Oregon lawmakers this last
session is really going to
work. I am referring to the
law recently in effect that
requires slow moving ve
hicles on two-lane highways
to pull over at the first safe
spot and let faster traffic go
by-
This Dast weekend we have
been driving considerably,
giving my brother Al, and
his wife Mabel a look-see at
our country. We have notic
ed that drivers are really
taking the law seriously—and
about time too, I might add.
There was only one instance
this weekend that we noticed
a pile-up of traffic and that
was behind a large transport
truck going up Highway 22
over the pass from the east.
He could have pulled out at
one place, but I suppose he
would have lost what little
speed he did have, so he
stayed put. The traffic fin
ally did get around him on
a straight stretch. For the
most part though, it appears
that this law will really
work. If it does, it certainly
should reduce the number of
these head-on crashes where
a driver in desperation to get
around a slow-poke driver,
takes chances in passing.
Time alone will tell if the
highway patrolmen will
really enforce the law. I for
one, hope they do.
