The Basic Speed Law in Oregon
The fundamental rule in Oregon is the Basic Speed Law, which requires you to always drive at a speed that is “reasonable and prudent” for the current conditions. This law overrides any posted speed limit, meaning you can be cited for driving too fast for conditions like bad weather, heavy traffic, or poor visibility, even if you are below the posted limit.
You must adjust your speed based on traffic flow, the presence of pedestrians and bicycles, road conditions, and weather. Always reduce your speed in adverse conditions like rain, fog, or snow to maintain control and allow adequate stopping time.
