This guide is designed to help you become a responsible and knowledgeable driver on Oregon’s roads. It outlines essential state laws and regulations that govern driving, providing a comprehensive and easy-to-understand reference. While it serves as an informative overview of these rules, it is not a substitute for the full Oregon Vehicle Code, which provides the complete and official legal framework for drivers and vehicles in the state. Please note that the laws and guidelines included here may be updated periodically. The primary goal of this manual is to prepare you for the driver’s examination required to obtain your Oregon driver’s license. Additionally, the road rules and driving guidelines discussed here apply not only to motor vehicles but also to bicycles and horse-drawn vehicles, all of which are recognized under Oregon law. For example, just like drivers of motor vehicles, cyclists must stop at red lights and obey all traffic signals. If you’re new to driving, this guide will provide you with everything you need to pass the driver’s exam. If you’re an experienced driver, this manual can serve as a useful refresher on rules you may have forgotten or offer insight into new or updated regulations since your initial license was issued.
