Officers set up Orange Cones at certain areas of the hwy, if you are within that cones they will stop you. They also do this for Crosswalks and if you are within the cones when a pedestrian steps off the curb and y ou dont stop they will pull you over. Cones for cross walks are set at an unsafe stopping distance. This town will also stop you for ANYTHING and everything. I recently went to trial to plead my case. The office had no notes and very little recollection of the incident, lied to the judge, I called him on it and he twisted the story, the judge sided with him, this was for a smoked cover over my license plate. Resulting in a $100.00 fine. Apparantly even if you are right, the officer can lie and the judge will side with him. Unfair? Very much so!

Comment (6/2003): Aurora is famous around here for the crosswalk sting. They have no signs warning of the crosswalks which are hard to see from your car.A favorite ploy is for a decoy to wait until you are right on the crosswalk...and suddenly step out. My aunt and uncle stopped , and were motioned to go ahead by the decoy.They continued on and got a $465 ticket. It is a standing joke among the Aurora police dept. ...the orange cones are referred to as "the moneymakers".The tickets you will get in Aurora are considerably higher than most other Oregon towns ..( average seatbelt ticket in Oregon is a standard $77 ....in Aurora , $175 )

Comment (6/2003): Please remember that small towns and their police departmentsare underfunded and understaffed. While they may seem "overzealous" theentire operation was created for a reason. Some years ago a pedestrian leaving the Aurura Auction on a Tuesday night was in the middle of the road whena speeding car suddenly ran him down and killed him. These speed traps, while being anannoyance, often represent someone's tragedy.

One Police Car town...has nothing to do. Parks there every day waiting for unsuspecting motorists entering Aurora at a speed faster than 30 MPH. Highway average speed for 99E is 45 miles per hour. Pulls over for speeding and seatbelts.

East of Hubbard cutoff Rd. NE, heading into the town of Aurora, OR, open roadway, posted 45mph, changes to 35mph with no warning, downhill, then changes to 25mph with no warning. Quite easy to exceed new posted limit. County Sheriff and Aurora police take turns enforcing. Wear your seatbelts and forget about talking them out of it. Unmarked cars are common along with hidden radar units.
