Geez, I can't remember, but I've been around Lincoln City, all along the coast and in Portland, and every driver was going below the speed limit.

Try Central Oregon (Hwy 97). The speed limit is 55 and even at 80 you get passed by most cars. :eek:

Lincoln City is always slow since the traffic is so horrible. It was listed as the worst traffic in a vaction area in the US!!

I was down in Portland a week ago and traffic was moving along. I did run into some slow spots -- what is it about Washington and Oregon drivers that they can't seem to merge without stopping????

I'll be crossing Oregon when I'll be moving to Washington State this year. I think I'll be stuck on 5 for most of the way. Maybe we can meet up if you aren't too far off course?

Don't need to stop to merge as long as it's done safely. Come on down to the Bay Area, or Orange County and see some real "creative" merging! :D Who cares if there is a car there, they'll go right into them.

I know what you mean. Too many are flocking up there. I'm originally from Washington, so I can gripe. I wish they'd stay in Kalifornia, and if they have to move, go to Arizona or Nevada instead.
