In Oregon, the maximum speed in a school zone when children are present or the beacon is flashing is:
- A. 15 mph
- B. 20 mph
- C. 25 mph
- D. 30 mph on arterial roads through school zones
Show answer
B. 20 mph — Oregon school zones are posted at 20 mph when children are present or when the flashing beacon is active. All drivers must stop for school buses with flashing red lights from both directions on undivided roads; on divided highways, only same-direction traffic must stop. Oregon also requires stopping when a school bus displays flashing lights on a private road. School-zone violations in Oregon carry fines and points.

What is the maximum speed limit on Oregon's rural interstate highways?
- A. 70 mph
- B. 75 mph
- C. 65 mph
- D. 55 mph
Show answer
C. 65 mph — Oregon's rural interstates are posted at a maximum of 65 mph — lower than many western states. I-84 through the Columbia River Gorge and I-5 through the Willamette Valley have significant sections with lower posted limits due to terrain and weather. Urban interstate segments in Portland are often 55 mph. Oregon's combination of mountain passes, rain, and fog frequently requires speeds well below posted limits. Residential streets default to 25 mph.

In Oregon, when a bicycle is traveling in a designated bike lane, a driver turning right must:

- B. Proceed — cars always have right of way over bicycles
- C. Yield to the cyclist before crossing the bike lane
- D. Only yield if the cyclist is using hand signals
Show answer
C. Yield to the cyclist before crossing the bike lane — Oregon gives cyclists in bike lanes the same rights as other vehicles. Drivers turning right must yield to any cyclist in the bike lane before crossing it to complete the turn.
