    Once again they are having ice tea in hell, as Oregon has raised the speed limit for trucks to 60, and 65 for cars.

    There is hope yet for mankind.

    Well that is nice. I guess Cali is the slowest speed limit now and forever.

    Yep on 5. Last time I was up here it was 60 on US Highway, but I thought I was dreaming.

    They raised the statewide from 55 to 65 a few years ago, but from The Dalles to Portland [and other stretch south of Portland] they left it at 55 - UNTIL RECENTLY when they raised those stretches to 60

    Yea it's 65 now I-84 after the Dalles to MyXisAHO. And they have variable spped for some of it with electronic signs. Was a miserably B from Portland to MM 250, storm, but I freaking zoomed across there while the getting was good lol.

    Arkansas is supposed to go to 75 as soon they put up the necessary interstate signs.

    They are also going to 65 on some rural roads from 55. So things should get rather interesting.

    We already roll at 90+ Not necessarily our vehicle but everyone else.

    Memphis to Texarkana has got to be the most dangerous stretch of highway ANYWHERE in the country-

    You can't Breathe- Always a vehicle next to you.
