Transportation signage to be upgraded this summer at several Eastern Oregon sites
According to the Oregon Department of Transportation, over a dozen areas in Eastern Oregon will see various transportation signs upgraded this summer thanks to the Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP).
Nearly two-dozen locations in Baker, Harney, Malheur, Morrow, Umatilla, and Union counties will have stop, curve warnings, traffic direction arrows, street name, and other signs changed or improved at select locations.
The work is needed to ensure signage meets current federal standards. This may include replacing damaged signs, adding new signage such as additional curve warnings, relocating signs to improve site distance/safety, or upgrading existing signs to comply with changed sign requirements (i.e.: new size standards, updated calculations for curve speeds, etc.).
