Please Slow Down, Move Over for Work Crews
When you see our crews working along the side of the road, please slow down or move over. It will help keep our linemen and tree trimmers safe, and, in Oregon, it's the law.

Oregon law requires drivers to slow down or move over when they approach stationary vehicles displaying flashing lights.

Thank you for helping keep our crews safe.
