𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐭, 𝐎𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐲 𝐈𝐭

Snow is in the forecast… really, it is! And the Oregon Department of Transportation’s Commerce and Compliance Division has an important reminder as weather conditions have prompted several road closures this season. Oregon's chain law applies to all highways throughout the state. When you drive in winter conditions, you may see signs telling you to carry chains or traction tires, and when you are required to use them. In some areas, lighted message signs also will advise you about chaining up. Traction tires may be used in place of chains on vehicles rated at 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight or less and that are not towing or being towed. Commercial drivers failing to use chains when signs require could result in a traffic violation with a penalty of $880. Failure to install chains on commercial vehicles is a contributing factor in crashes that can shut down highways for many hours. The estimated cost of delays caused by trucks failing to chain up is over eight million dollars a year, to the motor carrier industry and other highway users. So help us keep Oregon moving and remember to chain up when required!
