Wait... 65: Highest posted speed limits in Oregon. 75: Highest speed authorized to ODOT for a posted speed limit (so far, unused, any paved route using a speed limit higher than 65 MPH is automatically wrong as of this writing) 88: Open desert/dune speed limit (never posted, rarely enforced) 99: Fastest speed allowed anywhere in Oregon without being potentially charged as a felony (I narrowly avoided a felony doing 117 in the Oregon Dunes when Oregon State Police by virtue of my sandrail lacking a speedo and being from out of state, despite having a GPS I was pretty much ignoring thanks to it waving around everywhere, until it was time to return it; Don't Go Faster Than This unless you want to have somewhere between a Bad Time and Prison Time).
