More signs of the times are needed!
The Oregon State Police receives grants (money) from ODOT each year to provide extra patrols on US Hwy 99e stretching from Salem to Woodburn. This is because of the high number of accidents caused by drunken drivers and most of them Hispanics and/or Illegal Aliens who reside in the area.
However, we now have another concern with another stretch of Oregon pavement that suffers for an extraordinarily high number of accidents. This is between mileposts 270 and 272 on Interstate 5, or better identified as the Woodburn Interchange and there mostly, but not all, in the Northbound lanes.
Imagine having Big Signs posted on I-5 announcing to passing drivers of their entering a "Safety Corridor" as they do now on US 99e.
Perhaps those signs should be in Spanish as well.
