what is the speed limit on the m5?
70 mph
the highest posted speed limit in oregon is 70 mph on i-84 east of the dalles, i-82 and us 95 (trucks 65 mph). oregon state statutes allow for a maximum speed limit of 70 mph on rural interstate highways, and the law gives the oregon department of transportation (odot) discretion to define which freeway segments to post the 70 mph speed limit. odot did not raise speed limits beyond 65 mph on other freeways, and strongly opposed legislative efforts to raise the maximum allowable speed limit. however, in july 2015, governor kate brown signed a bill raising speed limits on several highways in eastern oregon; the bill included provisions to raise the speed limit to 70 mph on i-84 and us 95. it was announced on october 6, 2017 that the truck speed limit will be increasing to 60 mph on rural interstate highways where the car speed limit is 65 mph as soon as new signs are posted. in all rural areas in oregon, the speed limit is 55 unless otherwise posted.

normally, the end of a lowered speed limit is marked with a sign reading "state speed limit 55", indicating that the statewide speed limit applies. in areas where a curve or other road condition makes the state speed limit inadvisable, a sign reading "end xx m.p.h. limit" may be used, with xx replaced with the speed limit value. a "state speed limit 55" sign should be installed after the curve. this sign is sometimes misused in locations where the speed limit changes to a speed other than 55 mph. this is mainly applied on both undivided and divided rural non-freeway routes. though rarely seen, some divided roadways are set as low as 45 mph but mainly stay at the state speed limit of 55 mph; in one exceptional case, that of the scajaquada expressway, the speed limit was lowered to 30 mph in 2016 after a fatality.
