  • Grab a yard sign. Join the Drive to Zero efforts to slow speeds down on our county’s roads by placing a road sign in your front yard. Every household in Clackamas County is eligible to pick up one yard sign from the main offices of the Department of Transportation and Development at 150 Beavercreek Road. Come up to the third floor and ask at the front desk.
  • To have a local, paved non‑arterial road considered for speed bumps, contact Clackamas County through the Road Concerns Form for information and guidance on the process.

Clackamas County has a new authority from the State to conduct our own review of the speed limit on roads owned and operated by the County. The primary reason for establishing speed limits is safety. The posted speed should inform motorists of maximum driving speeds that are considered safe and reasonable for a highway section under free-flowing traffic and favorable weather and visibility conditions. Safe and reasonable highway speeds are determined through an engineering study. The study is based upon nationally accepted standards that include a review of roadway characteristics and users. These characteristics include, but are not limited to, traffic volumes, crash history, highway geometry, roadside development, and density, etc.

While we have a prioritized list based on traffic safety data that helps guide our process, you may nominate your road for getting on the waiting list to explore a speed limit reduction by using the Road Concern form.
