Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

Drivers face higher safety corridor fines

Covered offenses in designated safety corridors carry higher fines when committed on or after the law’s effective date. The standard fine before court adjustments is $875 for Class A traffic violations and $525 for Class B traffic violations. For speeding-related violations, it is $325 for Class C and $225 for Class D. The required court surcharge is added, and the citation must note that the offense occurred in the corridor. Separate minimum fines apply after conviction for reckless driving, driving under the influence, or failing to perform required duties after a collision. They also cover criminal driving while suspended or revoked, and fleeing or trying to elude police. These minimums are 20% of the offense’s maximum fine for misdemeanors and 2% for felonies.

Counties can create road safety corridors

Oregon county boards can designate up to two road segments as safety corridors at one time. The county must be the road authority, and the board must find a safety concern. Boards must set objective criteria and requirements for regular community input, stronger enforcement, engineering improvements, infrastructure investment, and public outreach. Counties must post signs warning drivers that traffic fines in these corridors are doubled.
