State highways in Oregon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Oregon state highway system is a network of roadways which are owned and maintained by the Highway Division of the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). As of December 31, 2005, there are 8,043.59 miles of State Highway, including 617.14 miles of connecting and frontage road. Besides the State Highway System, there are 729.57 miles of Interstate highway; 10,255.52 miles of city-owned streets; 33,332.01 miles of county roads; 30,573.42 miles of federal roads (Forest Service, BLM, National Parks, etc.). All told, there are 86,818 miles of roads within Oregon of which 64,543 are certified public roads.^[1]

The Oregon State Highway system is a bit unusual (compared to similar systems in other U.S. states) in that there are two numbering systems used. One numbering system, which corresponds precisely to the set of roads maintained by ODOT, is an internal numbering system used in ODOT projects and accounting, and which is typically not exposed to the public. The other numbering system consists of the various route numbers (Interstate, U.S., and State of Oregon) which appear on maps and roadsigns, and which are used to guide the motoring public. It should be noted that the two systems, while largely overlapping, are not congruent--many signed routes occur over streets maintained by counties and cities (and thus are not part of the ODOT system); and at the present time, many ODOT-maintained highways are not currently assigned a route number. In addition, the internal ODOT numbers and the published route numbers need not agree.

One other unusual feature of the Oregon state highway system is that Oregon has allowed duplication of route numbers; one can find in Oregon both Interstate 205 and Route 205, for example. Many states do not allow such duplication unless the two different designations are part of a continuous route.

[edit] Summary

Currently, Oregon implements two systems for numbering its state highways. The first system used numbered what are now officially known as "highways", in which the Oregon Highway Division (now ODOT) gave a name and number to each individual highway. These were the primary identification for Oregon's state routes. With the implementation of the U.S. Route systems in 1926, Oregon had to devise a new numbering system in order to prevent confusion between Oregon highways and U.S. routes. In 1932, a separate system was created numbering Oregon's "routes"; however, the original highway names and numbers were kept by the Oregon Highway Division for internal uses.

These "routes" are what is seen by the public, published on maps, used for general navigation across the state, etc., and includes Interstates and U.S. Highways. These numbers were originally assigned in a pattern, with odd-numbered primary state routes running north-south, the lowest numbered route starting from the eastern part of the state and increasing heading west. Even numbered primary state routes ran east-west, with the lowest numbered route in the northwest corner of the state and increasing to the easternmost part of Oregon. Secondary state routes are 200-series routes. They were assigned with the lowest odd number in the east and increasing to the west; the lowest even number started in the north part of the state and increased heading south.

Oregon Highway numbers and Oregon Route numbers usually do not coincide, so for a given stretch of road, you will have a Highway name and number PLUS an associated route. For example, Pacific Highway #1 (the Highway name/number) is mostly associated with Interstate 5 (the Route number). Highway names/numbers may have many routes associated with it, and Route numbers may have many different segments of Highway associated with it. Until 2002, many of the Highways did not have an associated Route number.

[edit] 2002 legislation

In 2002, a law passed by the Oregon Legislature, and signed into law by then-Governor John Kitzhaber, mandated the phasing-out of ODOT-managed highways without public route numbers.^{[citation needed]} The law called for all such highways to be assigned route numbers, though as of 2006 only a few such routes have had route markers posted. The law specified that unsigned highways would be assigned route numbers equal to their internal ODOT numbers, except in the case where such routes already existed--in which case the hundreds digit would be changed to 5. Examples include Route 551, which has the Highway number of 51, and Route 501, which has the Highway number of 201.

It is unclear what is to be done with state-managed highways which are partially assigned route numbers (in other words, over a portion of their length but not over their entirety). An example of this is the Klamath Falls-Malin Highway (Highway 50), which is known as Route 39 between Klamath Falls and a junction east of Merrill, but is currently unnumbered for the remainder of its length. The Route 50 designation is presently available.

These numbers were assigned as follows:^[2]

[edit] ODOT regions

ODOT divides the state highway system into five regions; consisting of the Portland metropolitan area, the Willamette Valley, the southwest corner of the state, Central Oregon, and Eastern Oregon.

Like most states, the Oregon State Highway network consists of routes signed as Interstates, U.S. Highways, and Oregon State highway routes. The shield used to represent Oregon State routes consists of black numbering on a white shield; in the shape of the Seal of the State of Oregon (the shape is similar to an upside-down raindrop). One can also find U.S. Forest Service and county routes in Oregon; neither of these are part of the state highway system.
