What makes you think the horns and insults you "suffer" are the result of Oregon traffic codes? Maybe there is something else about you or your riding style that earns you more insults and horns than other cyclists suffer in other locations with or without bike lanes.
once there is a segregated facility motorists tend to interpret the existing law to mean that cyclists "must" always use it. this is one of the major problems with poorly designed and incomplete segregation.

When I take roads with no infrastructure I have virtually no problems. Only on a few small stretches of my commute where I take the lane to avoid a very problematic cycletrack do I have negative interactions. Previously this stretch had a 6 foot bike lane which I used without any problems.
