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.
