Unique State Laws

What is the current status of self-service gasoline in Oregon?

Tap to reveal answer

A Fully banned statewide, as in New Jersey.
B Fully legal statewide with no restrictions.
C Self-serve is allowed statewide, but stations may require attendants during certain hours.
D Only legal between midnight and 6 AM.
Why this answer

Oregon was long the only US state besides New Jersey to prohibit self-serve gas. In August 2023, Oregon repealed its ban, legalizing self-service statewide. However, stations may still choose to staff attendants, and drivers may refuse and request attendant service where available. New Jersey now stands alone as a full-ban state.

A Any time, for any reason.
B Only to make a turn, enter a driveway, or park — and after yielding to cyclists.
C Only in rural areas.
D Only during daylight.
Why this answer

Oregon treats bike lanes as primary bicyclist space. Motor vehicles may enter only to execute a turn, access a driveway, or park — and must yield to any bicyclist already in the lane before entering. Idling or driving along in the bike lane is prohibited. Penalties can include fines and civil liability in the event of a collision.
