TRANSPORTATION AP: Oregon officials replacing signs warning of road curves Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted May. 16, 2016 at 10:47 AM Posted May. 16, 2016 at 10:47 AM » Social News BEND, Ore. (AP) — Oregon transportation officials plan to increase the recommended speed on signs advising drivers to slow down while approaching a curve. The Bulletin reports that Oregon Department of Transportation spokesman Tom Fuller says officials will change 50 to 75 percent of the signs on state-managed roads, mostly by bumping up the recommended speed by 5 or 10 mph. According Fuller, many of the recommended speeds date back to the 1930s or 1940s, when road managers often took a more conservative approach. The department will be using modern equipment to set the new recommendations. Fuller says the change is part of a federal push to make such signs more consistent across the country. ODOT officials say many signs along highways in Central and Eastern Oregon have already been replaced.
