Oregon had been among a handful of states where the highest speed limit was still 65 mph. Rep. Phil Barnhart, a Eugene Democrat, lamented the bill to raise the limit. Barnhart harkened to the 1970s, when speed limits were lowered under President Jimmy Carterâs administration amid a national oil shortage.
Essentially, the rule, which has been around since cars started rattling past 35 mph in the 1920s, says that posted speeds are not the final word on the state's roads. Oregon drivers have the freedom to decide what is the reasonable and prudent speed by considering traffic, road, weather and other conditions.
