Faster Speed Limit Signs Going up Tuesday in Oregon

Tuesday, Oregon Department of Transportation crews began installing the new faster speed limit signs on various highways and parts of Interstate 84.

Due to a bill passed in the Oregon legislature, officials decided certain stretches of freeways merited having their speed limits raised.  Parts of I-82, I-82 and state highways saw the changes go into effect.

The changes include Highway 97 down Central Oregon, from the Columbia River all the way to California, most of I-84 including the stretch from Hermiston to the Dalles, as well as several other routes.
