Hwy 38 vs. 42 in Oregon?

This is for my van, not a big rig.

I've driven 42 and liked it. But 38 looks to be more convenient this time. Is it a much slower road? Can I stay above 25mph on the turns?

Thanks, all!

  • Which direction? From where to where?? A more specific question will help us all.
  • We also just drove 38/138 to and from the coast this summer. It's pretty and an easy drive. I think you'll like it.
  • We just traveled 38/138 from Sutherlin to Reedsport in our 40' Dynasty towing a Ford Edge. Most of the route is 55 mph speed limit. There were a few places where we slowed down to 35-40 mph, but not many.
  • if you talking i-5 to the coast or reverse 38 is a faster and better road.
    both roads are fine just depends where from and where too.
