About

Enlarged project map This project upgraded curve warning signs to meet national standards and installed new curve warnings at the curves that meet a specific crash threshold.

These signs should help reduce fatal and serious roadway departure crashes at horizontal curves. Curve warning signage has been shown to aid in drivers' awareness of the changes to the direction of the road and to decreases roadway departure crashes. Roadway departure fatalities account for about two thirds of Oregon fatalities.

The following corridors were included in the project:

OR 18 from milepost 1 to 17.
OR 219 from milepost 10 to 36.
OR 99W from milepost 34 to 104.
