Rural County Sign Installation Project

One way that has been proven to decrease traffic crashes is to post safety signage alerting travelers to changing conditions ahead. The county has received a grant from ODOT to install over 2,500 curve and stop ahead warning signs throughout unincorporated Clackamas County to improve safety on our roads.

Status: Completed

Schedule: May 2021 – Aug. 2022

Updated: Sept. 11, 2022

Crash reductions associated with addition of curve warning signs (as compared to curves with no curve warning signs), and stop ahead warning signs are as follows: 

  • Curve Warning Signs with Speed: 13% reduction in all fatal and injury causing crashes
  • Chevrons: 20–35% reduction in fatal and injury causing crashes
  • Intersection Warning Signs with Street Name: 22% reduction in overall crashes; 35% reduction in right-angle crashes
  • Stop Ahead Signs: 35% reduction in angle crashes
  • Double Stop Signs: 11% reduction in overall crashes; 55% reduction in angle crashes
