We all share responsibility for following the rules and being safe on Oregon’s highways. Making bad decisions on the road can put your life and the lives of others in danger. Please play your part in helping everyone in our community get home safely tonight and every night.

ODOT’S GOAL is to provide a safe, reliable transportation system for travelers and that means road, bridge and highway improvements are all around Northwest Oregon this summer.

Use these resources so you “Know Before You Go.” We will help you get there, but there will be delays along some highways. This map is designed to show you where major road construction projects are planned along ODOT’s Northwest Oregon highways during the summer 2019 construction season.

We’re working to ensure Oregon’s highways serve you for years to come. This investment means travel delays on some of Oregon’s busiest highways. Here's what you can do to keep moving during construction.

Summertime in Oregon is the best time to get out of your car. Consider travel options such as biking, walking or transit.

You’re on vacation. Take the train.

Plan your visit. Check construction schedules before you hit the road at www.TripCheck.com.

Avoid getting stuck in traffi c with your kids in the back seat. Explore Oregon on foot.

If driving is necessary, plan ahead, carpool and take alternate routes.

Summer days are long. Commute to and from work before or after rush hour. Or better yet, work from home if you can.

Be patient and drive safely. With increased congestion, construction workers on the road, and many people driving alternate routes, attentive and safe driving will be more important than ever this summer.

WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR FOLLOWING THE RULES

OF THE ROAD

5 seconds of distraction is like taking your eyes off the road for the length of a football fi eld.

You are 23 times more likely to crash while texting and driving.Although phones are one of the biggest causes of distracted driving crashes, eating, dealing with children, listening to music and digging in your purse while driving is dangerous for everyone. Whether you’re walking, rolling, biking or driving, please pay attention and look out for each other.

Speed is the second biggest cause of vehicle deaths.Crashes at high speed are more likely to result in fatalities than those at lower speeds. Speed limits are designed to enhance safety, and when drivers travel at diff erent rates of speed it increases chances of a crash.

Work zone crashes are more severe.Inattention and speeding are two of the major causes of work zone crashes. Work zones change the nature of the road and require a driver’s full attention. We all benefi t from improved roads, so give the people who are improving them a break by slowing down, giving them extra room, obeying speed limits and watching out for construction vehicles and law enforcement.

100 yards

Pay complete attention to your driving, especially in the transition zone before the work zone. An inattentive driver is the most common cause of work zone crashes.

Orange is your clue! Pay attention when you see orange signs, barrels, cones and barricades.

Obey all speed signs, because speed may be reduced for your safety and the safety of workers.

Double your following distance. Don't tailgate.

Get in the correct lane well in advance.

Remember, work zone traffi c lanes are often narrow, without shoulders or emergency lanes.

When possible, move over to give workers more room between them and your vehicle.

Be aware of temporary construction accesses on either side of the roadway.

Watch for construction vehicles and law enforcement and don't follow them as they travel in and out of the work zone.

Expect delays — plan for them — and leave early so you can drive safely through the work zone.

Know before you go! Visit www.TripCheck.com or call 5-1-1 to check routes, work zones and road and weather conditions before you head out.

Avoid work zones — when you can, use an alternate route.

Work zones should provide accommodations for pedestrians and bicyclists, or an accessible detour route. However, biking, walking or rolling through a construction work zone can be challenging.

• Plan your trip. Visit www.TripCheck.com or dial 5-1-1 to determine if construction is occurring along your route.

• When possible, use an alternate route to avoid work zones.

These simple guidelines can help make the trip safer and less stressful:

Be alert. Be visible. Be patient.

Follow direction given by fl aggers. Flaggers often provide specifi c instructions for bicyclists and pedestrians.

Look for marked detour routes, signs and devices that may change your normal route.

If sharing the road with vehicles as a cyclist, follow signs for motor vehicles as well.

Stay out of the work area! Don’t walk or ride behind cones, barricades or barrier, unless directed by a fl agger.

Ride carefully over rough, uneven terrain. You may need to walk your bike across gravel or unpaved surfaces. Use caution when riding over pavement markers and refl ectors.

Watch for steel plates in the roadway. They may be slippery, especially if wet.

Report unsafe conditions to a fl agger, police offi cer or construction offi cial.

The “MOVE OVER” law has been expanded to include not only emergency vehicles, but any vehicle pulled over on the roadside with emergency lights fl ashing. Keep them safe by:

a. Moving over a lane further away from them to pass, leaving them room to do their work safely.

b. If you cannot safely move a lane away, slow down at least 5 mph below the posted speed limit.

c. Continuing in the lane next to them at your current speed.

d. Speeding up to pass them more quickly.e. A and B. Driving is a serious task that deserves

all your attention. Cell phone use while driving distracts and endangers the driver and everyone else they encounter on the roadway. It is now illegal to hold or use an electronic device while driving in Oregon.

TRUE or FALSE The cell phone law that went into eff ect

Oct. 1, 2017 allows a driver to touch and use their device while waiting stopped at a traffi c light.

TRUE or FALSE There are a few cases where the cell phone

law that went into eff ect Oct. 1, 2017 does not apply. Which of the following are times it is legal to use your electronic device?

a. When using hands-free or built-in devices, if you are 18 years of age or older.

b. Single touch or swipe to activate device.c. While parked safely.d. While providing help when no one else is

available.e. Using a two-way radio if you are a CB

user, school bus driver, or utility driver in scope of employment.

f. All of the above. Work zones change the normal fl ow

of traffi c. It’s important to pay careful attention as you enter a work zone, since nearly half of work zone crashes occur in the transition zone (the area following the “Road Work Ahead” sign but before the actual work area begins).

TRUE or FALSE

If you’re driving at an intersection and facing a steady circular green light:

a. You can never turn left.b. You can turn left at any time without

yielding.c. You can turn left as long as you yield to

any oncoming traffi c and pedestrians in the intersection. Drivers in Oregon need a green arrow signal to take a left turn without yielding.

Most injuries in work zone crashes are to drivers and their passengers rather than to workers.

TRUE or FALSE If you’re feeling the eff ects of alcohol or

drugs, how can you get home safely?a. Ride with a designated driver who is not

under the infl uence.b. If you’re only slightly “buzzed,” it’s ok to

drive.c. As long as your BAC is less than the legal

limit of .08, you’re ok to drive.d. Call for a ride with someone who is not

impaired: taxi, ride service, friend or family.e. A and D. Every public street intersection in Oregon is a crosswalk, whether or not it is marked with a painted crosswalk. TRUE or FALSE Give yourself TIME and SPACE to deal with

the unexpected that may arise. A good way to do this is to:a. Plan ahead, leave plenty of time for the

trip.b. Don't speed or follow too closely.c. Slow down to adjust to weather or road

conditions such as fog, snow, ice or heavy rain.

d. Be aware of traffi c around you, and have an escape path if needed.

e. All of the above. Pedestrians in Oregon always have the

right of way to enter the roadway at an intersection, even when facing a traffi c control device with a steady yellow or red light.

TRUE or FALSE

Addressing bottlenecks on Oregon’s highwaysForty percent of all congestion is predictable, but that doesn’t make it less troublesome. Some of the worst bottleneck locations are between two closely spaced ramps where drivers have to weave and merge to get on and off the freeway. ODOT is investing in proven, cost-eff ective solutions for congestion problems in the Portland metro area.

Investing in key fi xes on Oregon’s highwaysODOT is currently constructing three auxiliary lanes on I-205 northbound in the Portland area, and a new auxiliary lane on I-205 southbound opened in 2019. Design is happening now for two new projects that include auxiliary lanes on OR 217 and on I-5 near the Rose Quarter.

Proven reliefCongestion in a bottleneck on I-5 southbound from Lower Boones Ferry Road to Nyberg Street stretched to an average of fi ve hours each day until ODOT opened a new auxiliary lane in 2018. Now there is an average of only one hour of congestion per day.

Use these resources so you “Know Before You Go.” We will help you get there, but there will be delays along some highways. This map is designed to show you where major road construction projects are planned along ODOT’s Northwest Oregon highways during the summer 2019 construction season.

We’re working to ensure Oregon’s highways serve you for years to come. This investment means travel delays on some of Oregon’s busiest highways. Here's what you can do to keep moving during construction.

Summertime in Oregon is the best time to get out of your car. Consider travel options such as biking, walking or transit.

You’re on vacation. Take the train.

Plan your visit. Check construction schedules before you hit the road at www.TripCheck.com.

Avoid getting stuck in traffi c with your kids in the back seat. Explore Oregon on foot.

If driving is necessary, plan ahead, carpool and take alternate routes.

Summer days are long. Commute to and from work before or after rush hour. Or better yet, work from home if you can.

Be patient and drive safely. With increased congestion, construction workers on the road, and many people driving alternate routes, attentive and safe driving will be more important than ever this summer.

WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR FOLLOWING THE RULES

OF THE ROAD

5 seconds of distraction is like taking your eyes off the road for the length of a football fi eld.

You are 23 times more likely to crash while texting and driving.Although phones are one of the biggest causes of distracted driving crashes, eating, dealing with children, listening to music and digging in your purse while driving is dangerous for everyone. Whether you’re walking, rolling, biking or driving, please pay attention and look out for each other.

Speed is the second biggest cause of vehicle deaths.Crashes at high speed are more likely to result in fatalities than those at lower speeds. Speed limits are designed to enhance safety, and when drivers travel at diff erent rates of speed it increases chances of a crash.

Work zone crashes are more severe.Inattention and speeding are two of the major causes of work zone crashes. Work zones change the nature of the road and require a driver’s full attention. We all benefi t from improved roads, so give the people who are improving them a break by slowing down, giving them extra room, obeying speed limits and watching out for construction vehicles and law enforcement.

100 yards

Pay complete attention to your driving, especially in the transition zone before the work zone. An inattentive driver is the most common cause of work zone crashes.

Orange is your clue! Pay attention when you see orange signs, barrels, cones and barricades.

Obey all speed signs, because speed may be reduced for your safety and the safety of workers.

Double your following distance. Don't tailgate.

Get in the correct lane well in advance.

Remember, work zone traffi c lanes are often narrow, without shoulders or emergency lanes.

When possible, move over to give workers more room between them and your vehicle.

Be aware of temporary construction accesses on either side of the roadway.

Watch for construction vehicles and law enforcement and don't follow them as they travel in and out of the work zone.

Expect delays — plan for them — and leave early so you can drive safely through the work zone.

Know before you go! Visit www.TripCheck.com or call 5-1-1 to check routes, work zones and road and weather conditions before you head out.

Avoid work zones — when you can, use an alternate route.

Work zones should provide accommodations for pedestrians and bicyclists, or an accessible detour route. However, biking, walking or rolling through a construction work zone can be challenging.

• Plan your trip. Visit www.TripCheck.com or dial 5-1-1 to determine if construction is occurring along your route.

• When possible, use an alternate route to avoid work zones.

These simple guidelines can help make the trip safer and less stressful:

Be alert. Be visible. Be patient.

Follow direction given by fl aggers. Flaggers often provide specifi c instructions for bicyclists and pedestrians.

Look for marked detour routes, signs and devices that may change your normal route.

If sharing the road with vehicles as a cyclist, follow signs for motor vehicles as well.

Stay out of the work area! Don’t walk or ride behind cones, barricades or barrier, unless directed by a fl agger.

Ride carefully over rough, uneven terrain. You may need to walk your bike across gravel or unpaved surfaces. Use caution when riding over pavement markers and refl ectors.

Watch for steel plates in the roadway. They may be slippery, especially if wet.

Report unsafe conditions to a fl agger, police offi cer or construction offi cial.

The “MOVE OVER” law has been expanded to include not only emergency vehicles, but any vehicle pulled over on the roadside with emergency lights fl ashing. Keep them safe by:

a. Moving over a lane further away from them to pass, leaving them room to do their work safely.

b. If you cannot safely move a lane away, slow down at least 5 mph below the posted speed limit.

c. Continuing in the lane next to them at your current speed.

d. Speeding up to pass them more quickly.e. A and B. Driving is a serious task that deserves

all your attention. Cell phone use while driving distracts and endangers the driver and everyone else they encounter on the roadway. It is now illegal to hold or use an electronic device while driving in Oregon.

TRUE or FALSE The cell phone law that went into eff ect

Oct. 1, 2017 allows a driver to touch and use their device while waiting stopped at a traffi c light.

TRUE or FALSE There are a few cases where the cell phone

law that went into eff ect Oct. 1, 2017 does not apply. Which of the following are times it is legal to use your electronic device?

a. When using hands-free or built-in devices, if you are 18 years of age or older.

b. Single touch or swipe to activate device.c. While parked safely.d. While providing help when no one else is

available.e. Using a two-way radio if you are a CB

user, school bus driver, or utility driver in scope of employment.

f. All of the above. Work zones change the normal fl ow

of traffi c. It’s important to pay careful attention as you enter a work zone, since nearly half of work zone crashes occur in the transition zone (the area following the “Road Work Ahead” sign but before the actual work area begins).

TRUE or FALSE

If you’re driving at an intersection and facing a steady circular green light:

a. You can never turn left.b. You can turn left at any time without

yielding.c. You can turn left as long as you yield to

any oncoming traffi c and pedestrians in the intersection. Drivers in Oregon need a green arrow signal to take a left turn without yielding.

Most injuries in work zone crashes are to drivers and their passengers rather than to workers.

TRUE or FALSE If you’re feeling the eff ects of alcohol or

drugs, how can you get home safely?a. Ride with a designated driver who is not

under the infl uence.b. If you’re only slightly “buzzed,” it’s ok to

drive.c. As long as your BAC is less than the legal

limit of .08, you’re ok to drive.d. Call for a ride with someone who is not

impaired: taxi, ride service, friend or family.e. A and D. Every public street intersection in Oregon is a crosswalk, whether or not it is marked with a painted crosswalk. TRUE or FALSE Give yourself TIME and SPACE to deal with

the unexpected that may arise. A good way to do this is to:a. Plan ahead, leave plenty of time for the

trip.b. Don't speed or follow too closely.c. Slow down to adjust to weather or road

conditions such as fog, snow, ice or heavy rain.

d. Be aware of traffi c around you, and have an escape path if needed.

e. All of the above. Pedestrians in Oregon always have the

right of way to enter the roadway at an intersection, even when facing a traffi c control device with a steady yellow or red light.

TRUE or FALSE

Addressing bottlenecks on Oregon’s highwaysForty percent of all congestion is predictable, but that doesn’t make it less troublesome. Some of the worst bottleneck locations are between two closely spaced ramps where drivers have to weave and merge to get on and off the freeway. ODOT is investing in proven, cost-eff ective solutions for congestion problems in the Portland metro area.

Investing in key fi xes on Oregon’s highwaysODOT is currently constructing three auxiliary lanes on I-205 northbound in the Portland area, and a new auxiliary lane on I-205 southbound opened in 2019. Design is happening now for two new projects that include auxiliary lanes on OR 217 and on I-5 near the Rose Quarter.

Proven reliefCongestion in a bottleneck on I-5 southbound from Lower Boones Ferry Road to Nyberg Street stretched to an average of fi ve hours each day until ODOT opened a new auxiliary lane in 2018. Now there is an average of only one hour of congestion per day.

We’re working to ensure Oregon’s highways serve you for years to come. This investment means travel delays on some of Oregon’s busiest highways. Here's what you can do to keep moving during construction.

Summertime in Oregon is the best time to get out of your car. Consider travel options such as biking, walking or transit.

You’re on vacation. Take the train.

Plan your visit. Check construction schedules before you hit the road at www.TripCheck.com.

Avoid getting stuck in traffi c with your kids in the back seat. Explore Oregon on foot.

If driving is necessary, plan ahead, carpool and take alternate routes.

Summer days are long. Commute to and from work before or after rush hour. Or better yet, work from home if you can.

Be patient and drive safely. With increased congestion, construction workers on the road, and many people driving alternate routes, attentive and safe driving will be more important than ever this summer.

WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR FOLLOWING THE RULES

OF THE ROAD

5 seconds of distraction is like taking your eyes off the road for the length of a football fi eld.

You are 23 times more likely to crash while texting and driving.Although phones are one of the biggest causes of distracted driving crashes, eating, dealing with children, listening to music and digging in your purse while driving is dangerous for everyone. Whether you’re walking, rolling, biking or driving, please pay attention and look out for each other.

Speed is the second biggest cause of vehicle deaths.Crashes at high speed are more likely to result in fatalities than those at lower speeds. Speed limits are designed to enhance safety, and when drivers travel at diff erent rates of speed it increases chances of a crash.

Work zone crashes are more severe.Inattention and speeding are two of the major causes of work zone crashes. Work zones change the nature of the road and require a driver’s full attention. We all benefi t from improved roads, so give the people who are improving them a break by slowing down, giving them extra room, obeying speed limits and watching out for construction vehicles and law enforcement.

100 yards

Pay complete attention to your driving, especially in the transition zone before the work zone. An inattentive driver is the most common cause of work zone crashes.

Orange is your clue! Pay attention when you see orange signs, barrels, cones and barricades.

Obey all speed signs, because speed may be reduced for your safety and the safety of workers.

Double your following distance. Don't tailgate.

Get in the correct lane well in advance.

Remember, work zone traffi c lanes are often narrow, without shoulders or emergency lanes.

When possible, move over to give workers more room between them and your vehicle.

Be aware of temporary construction accesses on either side of the roadway.

Watch for construction vehicles and law enforcement and don't follow them as they travel in and out of the work zone.

Expect delays — plan for them — and leave early so you can drive safely through the work zone.

Know before you go! Visit www.TripCheck.com or call 5-1-1 to check routes, work zones and road and weather conditions before you head out.

Avoid work zones — when you can, use an alternate route.

Work zones should provide accommodations for pedestrians and bicyclists, or an accessible detour route. However, biking, walking or rolling through a construction work zone can be challenging.

• Plan your trip. Visit www.TripCheck.com or dial 5-1-1 to determine if construction is occurring along your route.

• When possible, use an alternate route to avoid work zones.

These simple guidelines can help make the trip safer and less stressful:

Be alert. Be visible. Be patient.

Follow direction given by fl aggers. Flaggers often provide specifi c instructions for bicyclists and pedestrians.

Look for marked detour routes, signs and devices that may change your normal route.

If sharing the road with vehicles as a cyclist, follow signs for motor vehicles as well.

Stay out of the work area! Don’t walk or ride behind cones, barricades or barrier, unless directed by a fl agger.

Ride carefully over rough, uneven terrain. You may need to walk your bike across gravel or unpaved surfaces. Use caution when riding over pavement markers and refl ectors.

Watch for steel plates in the roadway. They may be slippery, especially if wet.

Report unsafe conditions to a fl agger, police offi cer or construction offi cial.

The “MOVE OVER” law has been expanded to include not only emergency vehicles, but any vehicle pulled over on the roadside with emergency lights fl ashing. Keep them safe by:

a. Moving over a lane further away from them to pass, leaving them room to do their work safely.

b. If you cannot safely move a lane away, slow down at least 5 mph below the posted speed limit.

c. Continuing in the lane next to them at your current speed.

d. Speeding up to pass them more quickly.e. A and B. Driving is a serious task that deserves

all your attention. Cell phone use while driving distracts and endangers the driver and everyone else they encounter on the roadway. It is now illegal to hold or use an electronic device while driving in Oregon.

TRUE or FALSE The cell phone law that went into eff ect

Oct. 1, 2017 allows a driver to touch and use their device while waiting stopped at a traffi c light.

TRUE or FALSE There are a few cases where the cell phone

law that went into eff ect Oct. 1, 2017 does not apply. Which of the following are times it is legal to use your electronic device?

a. When using hands-free or built-in devices, if you are 18 years of age or older.

b. Single touch or swipe to activate device.c. While parked safely.d. While providing help when no one else is

available.e. Using a two-way radio if you are a CB

user, school bus driver, or utility driver in scope of employment.

f. All of the above. Work zones change the normal fl ow

of traffi c. It’s important to pay careful attention as you enter a work zone, since nearly half of work zone crashes occur in the transition zone (the area following the “Road Work Ahead” sign but before the actual work area begins).

TRUE or FALSE

If you’re driving at an intersection and facing a steady circular green light:

a. You can never turn left.b. You can turn left at any time without

yielding.c. You can turn left as long as you yield to

any oncoming traffi c and pedestrians in the intersection. Drivers in Oregon need a green arrow signal to take a left turn without yielding.

Most injuries in work zone crashes are to drivers and their passengers rather than to workers.

TRUE or FALSE If you’re feeling the eff ects of alcohol or

drugs, how can you get home safely?a. Ride with a designated driver who is not

under the infl uence.b. If you’re only slightly “buzzed,” it’s ok to

drive.c. As long as your BAC is less than the legal

limit of .08, you’re ok to drive.d. Call for a ride with someone who is not

impaired: taxi, ride service, friend or family.e. A and D. Every public street intersection in Oregon is a crosswalk, whether or not it is marked with a painted crosswalk. TRUE or FALSE Give yourself TIME and SPACE to deal with

the unexpected that may arise. A good way to do this is to:a. Plan ahead, leave plenty of time for the

trip.b. Don't speed or follow too closely.c. Slow down to adjust to weather or road

conditions such as fog, snow, ice or heavy rain.

d. Be aware of traffi c around you, and have an escape path if needed.

e. All of the above. Pedestrians in Oregon always have the

right of way to enter the roadway at an intersection, even when facing a traffi c control device with a steady yellow or red light.

TRUE or FALSE

Addressing bottlenecks on Oregon’s highwaysForty percent of all congestion is predictable, but that doesn’t make it less troublesome. Some of the worst bottleneck locations are between two closely spaced ramps where drivers have to weave and merge to get on and off the freeway. ODOT is investing in proven, cost-eff ective solutions for congestion problems in the Portland metro area.

Investing in key fi xes on Oregon’s highwaysODOT is currently constructing three auxiliary lanes on I-205 northbound in the Portland area, and a new auxiliary lane on I-205 southbound opened in 2019. Design is happening now for two new projects that include auxiliary lanes on OR 217 and on I-5 near the Rose Quarter.

Proven reliefCongestion in a bottleneck on I-5 southbound from Lower Boones Ferry Road to Nyberg Street stretched to an average of fi ve hours each day until ODOT opened a new auxiliary lane in 2018. Now there is an average of only one hour of congestion per day.
