[edit] Route description
OR 10 begins as Barbur Boulevard out of downtown Portland, a segment it shares with Oregon Route 99W, running parallel to Interstate 5. It separates from OR 99W a few miles south of downtown, and proceeds along the Capitol Highway through the Portland neighborhood of Hillsdale. Along here, it is a surface street, which cuts through the southern part of Portland's West Hills. It separates from the Capitol Highway in Hillsdale, which continues unnumbered, and becomes the Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway, a surface street with frequent traffic signals. The highway continues west into Washington County and the eastern suburb of Beaverton. After the interchange with Oregon Route 217, a freeway, it changes to Farmington Road, and comes a block parallel with Oregon Route 8 in front of Beaverton High School. OR 8 and 10 do not intersect, but it is not uncommon for commuters to use the frontage road for the OR 217 interchange or another surface street to change between the routes. As Farmington Road, OR 10 leaves Beaverton and cuts across half-developed suburbia to Farmington and its intersection with Oregon Route 219.
