This is in response to Mr. Tim Groce’s letter concerning center lane usage, which gives a perfect description of the illegal usage of the lanes.
I encourage you to check with Oregon Department of Transportation and the Department of Motor Vehicle on these laws.
As a high school driving instructor in Portland for 10 years, we taught per the Oregon statutes book.
These are declaration lanes to allow cars leaving the busier streets, usually with speeds of 35 mph or more, to brake and slow in the center lane rather than the left-hand traffic lane. Then, if they need to stop and wait to turn, they have shelter.
