RVers connect the dots
Yellow dots on Oregon gas-food-lodging signs signal RV travelers where to park, turn and fuel.
Oregon’s Travel Information Council launched a two-year program in August to test so-called “RV friendly” signs after a popular 2003 trial run. The signs indicate which freeway-close businesses have wide, paved entrances and exits, overhead clearance, big parking spaces, noncommercial diesel pumps and 50-foot “swing radius” for lengthy vehicles.
Some 15 Oregon sites -- along 600 miles of U.S. 101, Interstate 5 and connecting highways -- have signed up for yellow dots that read “RV.” Louisiana plans a similar program, and the Recreation Vehicle Industry Assn. seeks to expand the program nationwide to assist 30 million RVers.
