It’s never been about safety it’s always been about profit. In 2020 the camera outside McCoy stadium made $376,000 in fines and schools were completely closed due to Covid.

EP/Pawtucket are the biggest grifters in this game and they outsource the billing to Massachusetts. Per City of Pawtucket nobody in Rhode Island wanted the billing work which I also believe is a lie.

ETA I think one of the bonuses of having PHS move to McCoy stadium will be that Jenks and PHS will be on one street and 2 of the current school zone cameras (Shea/Tollman) can be removed and residents can simply navigate around Division street and avoid the citations all together.
