RV driving around Salem is beginner-friendly: roads are flat and wide, and city traffic is mild compared to Portland. Plan extra caution in rainy winter months; the Willamette Valley can see slick roads and reduced visibility.

Keep an eye out for winding sections and use pull-offs when needed. Local tip: Early morning drive-outs avoid all the traffic.
