There's a simple reason most are speeding: The limits are too low. Google the 85th percentile speed rule. Oregon's mission seems to be to "protect us" at the expense of all reason.

Maybe they're frustrated at having to drive so slow between the lights? Regardless, blowing lights is many times more dangerous than speeding IMHO.
