North Valley is a country road with too many users driving too fast with little enforcement of posted speed limits. Why redesign the road only to enable violators to drive faster? Suggest fixing road as is, reducing the speed limit and installing photo enforcement cameras that issue large fines.

Drop the speed limit to 45 mph. Although this isn't part of this survey the length of North Valley Road from College Street in Newberg to Albertson should all be 45 mph. Too many cyclists and farm equipment is on the whole road with multiple rises and blind curves.

Install a flashing warning light prior to the last curve before the entrance to Camp Tilikum. The lights could be activated at the camp office during peak entry and exit times. There are often dozens of buses and/or vehicles leaving this entrance. With people driving too fast coming around the curve it is extremely dangerous. I live near here and have seen numerous accidents in this area.

Monday, Oct 25, 6:45AM traveling north. The road was dry, but in the dark the white and yellow lines were nearly invisible. They have warn almost entirely away. When there was any oncoming traffic, they vanished entirely. If raised reflectors were installed then there would be no need for rumble strips because they would offer both visual and bumpy reminders to stay in the correct lane.

It seems unlikely that there are enough funds to turn this county road into a substitute for a state highway. Anything that can be done to improve and encourage use of Hwy 240 and 47 for the F. Grove to Nberg (connect to 219 and beyond) will help discourage use of this road: reduce speed, restrict weight, etc. Much of this traffic is traveling between the Tualatin Valley and the I-5 corridor, not "county traffic". Paving Albertson Rd has significantly increased NValley Rd traffic for the same reasons as above. When the Ayers Creek bridge was out for nearly a year, traffic seemed to find alternate routes. Why is the county expected to finance routes that should be supported by and using state highways maintained from state funds? Sen George proposed such a highway back when he was in the state legislature (Tualatin Valley to I-5 link), Am I remembering that correctly?

If Possible, add a left turn lane into Camp Tilikum

ReplyIn the summer season (June to August) it would be very helpful if Camp Tilikum had a "camp zone" reduced speed similar to a "school zone". For instance every morning and afternoon we have at least a 100 cars and busses arrive and depart from this entrance. Dennis Littlefield, Executive Director

The entire 4 mile stretch of road should definitely not be more than a 45 mph speed limit. Anything else is just unsafe, considering that whether or not you put bike lanes in, bikes will be traveling. I don't know how many times I have seen a bicycle coming towards me in the other lane, and then I go a little ways and see a car speeding coming my way. Borrow the money and do the bike lane option! There is no other responsible option. It should not be legal to repave roads and not add decent bike lanes. Figure it out. How about a County Resolution that the Federal Government cut a few trillion off the military budget and use it instead for something that will actually make the citizens safe????

Rumble strips or stop sign at this intersection to slow people down for the turn. Maybe also remove signs that distract drivers trying to read them while trying to figure out if they should stop, turn, or go straight.

ReplyIf you choose not to add a stop sign, some large chevrons in the triangle might be helpful. That corner is essentially invisible in the dark.

Speed limit on the road should be reduced to 45 mph.
I do not support the addition of rumble strips as they will greatly increase the risk to cyclists. If a cyclist is forced onto them it is likely to cause a crash and it also removes what little shoulder does exist for cyclists to utilize when large vehicles attempt to pass.

ReplyI'd support a center rumble strip to keep people in their lanes, but agree that a reduction in shoulder would not be wise.

Although it was recently improved/patched, this bend in the road frequently causes cars to drift across the center line. As someone who commutes on this road from Beaverton to McMinnville each morning, I see this frequently and am even guilty of it myself from time to time. The lanes are just too narrow and if a larger vehicle is coming in the opposite direction, there's minimal room for everyone involved. I would love to see this section widened, as well as the inclusion of signage reminding drivers to slow down in these turns.
