SAM; What needs to be done is to have the STATE take over the streets. This is nessary because the population is getting to be too many for a city to pay for everything. The STATE let people drive with studded tires & they can raise the money to pay for the streets. As you people are writing about SE 82. Well 82 is a state hiway & is to be maintained by th state. The problem with OREGON is the DRIVERS are UNBELIEVABLE STUPID. If these people drove like they do here back east, most would get tickets. The worst is the trucks, motor homes, vehicles pulling things driving in the HIGH SPEED lane. Most states has laws to keep slow traffic to the right. I call teh non emergency police number about a slow driver in the through lane & all they had to say was "it is ok to pass on the right". Another strange thing you see out here is that the police will pass on the right when going on a call. As far as i know that is sure NO/NO. Someone mentioned se 82 & Powell. The STUPID drivers need to have a divider up the middlew of the street for at least half of a block. The drivers are so STUPID that they will go through a safe light controlled intersection & make a laft turn in GEN 'X' cloths. If you people cannot learn to DRIVE, PLAN OR THINK then you get what you deserve. Very high insurance costs & danger to you & others. WRITE HERE. THE PERSON THAT READS THE MAIL KNOWS WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.AskODOT@Odot.State , REX R. BAHR A 71 Y/O NEBRASKAN
