- 101 to 18 is much easier!
- From where to where? It does make a difference. If you want to get to I5 then 18 to valley junction and 22 to Salem is the easiest. 20 from Newport has less traffic but also has one narrow section that requires some caution. 30 from Astoria allows you to bypass Portland completely.
- Best route is through Lincoln City. The 101 portion will be slow as a large portion will be through coastal towns at 30 mph or less but it is a nice drive. Don't speed especially around Depot Bay, they really are heavy on the enforcement.
