Medford Area Insider TipsThe Inside Scoop From Seasoned I-5 Travelers

Winter chain-up area ahead: If traveling in winter, the Siskiyou Summit is just 20 miles south of Medford. This is your last chance for food, gas, and chain purchases before a steep, often treacherous mountain pass. Check TripCheck.com for current conditions.

Watch for sudden speed drops: I-5 drops from 65 to 55 mph through town, and Oregon State Police actively patrol this stretch. The transition zones near Phoenix and north of Ashland are particular speed trap hotspots.

Avoid the Barnett Road exit during rush hour: The Barnett Road interchange (Exit 30) is notoriously congested 7-9am and 4-6pm. If you need food/gas, use Exit 27 (Central Point) or Exit 33 (Crater Lake Hwy) instead.

Fill up in Medford, not Ashland: Gas prices jump significantly in the 12 miles between Medford and Ashland. Fill your tank at Costco or stations near Central Point/Medford exits to save $0.30-50/gallon.
