Newberg, Oregon Speed Traps
2nd & 1st St.
There is usually a police car using k-band and/or laser.
By American Flag where 99W Highway splits going west bound
A police officer sits on a side street to the right within a block of the big American Flag. The speed suddenly drops to 25 mph right where the highway splits. So pay attention.
Highway 99w/downtown newberg
As you drive through downtown Newberg, the speed limit drops from 35 t0 25. There is usually at least 1 Newberg motorcycle officer checking vehicle speeds with laser and tenaciously going after anyone who is driving above 25 miles per hour. In some instances, there are parked police cars that also use laser to check the speed of vehicles. Radar detectors are not effective at warning you since the local police prefer to use laser instead of radar. On occasion, the police may use a k-band Decatur hand-held radar gun.
Hwy. 99 w. (a.k.a. Portland Rd.)
w/b and especially e/b on 99w just inside city limits from nearby Dundee at rush hour times (both morning and afternoon), the local police pounce on any infraction, no matter how minor. Going e/b from Dundee, the speed limit changes from 50 m.p.h. to 30. They lie in wait around a blind curve behind the Dairy Queen, but they could be anywhere along this route.
highway 99
This short corridor, just outside Newberg, (as you are entering Washington County), is always patrolled by at least one State Trooper and multiple unmarked Washington County Sheriffs cars and motorcycles. The Troopers rely on their lasers to target you as far as a quarter of a mile away and so do the Sheriffs. The Troopers also rely on X-band radar and the Sheriffs on Ka – and K band radar. They pulll over cars traveling east and west bound on this stretch of highway. This spot is a major speed trap with a lot of enforcement. watch out!
