Prospect Street near Beverage Hill Avenue

Pawtucket, Rhode IslandJan 12, 20060 Comments

Cops park on side street (usually Maryland Ave.) but can be any, climb out of car and sight people, then flag them down for their "contribution" to the city. The road is straight/level and with a limit so low (25) it’s easy to go 30 or 35. They will stop you for doing 30…

Central Avenue

Pawtucket, Rhode IslandJul 19, 20050 Comments

Cops hide on different side streets along Central Ave. Sometimes they sit in a cruiser radaring and other times they get out and find a place to hide on foot. Speed limit is 25 along all of Central Ave. Be careful in general while in Pawtucket – if its a 25 it’s most likely a speedtrap.

State Highway Rte. 114/Prospect St. near Beveridge Hill Avenue

After you pass the Beveridge Hill Ave. intersection on Prospect St. you will see the speed limit drop to 25. You will enter a clearing with some industrial buildings with empty parking lots down the road. Police hide out in these lots and off to some side streets, any time of day, stopping anyone doing anything over 25. The cops tend to move around to different streets and parking lots so you never know where they’re hiding. Keep it under 25 from Beveridge Hill Ave. to the downtown area and you should be okay.

Slater Park Drive near Pond on the left

Speedtrap is in Slater Park. Driving in the park along the one-way road that runs along the pond, there is a hill. The speed limit is not posted. As you accelerate to go over the hill you will immediatly see one or more police cruisers at the bottom. They will not be using radar but will be ‘visually’ checking for speeders. The officer(s) are standing outside their cars and walk into the road to stop vehicles. The first time I was stopped and given a warning and told the limit was 15 mph and that in the future they will be giving tickets. The speed limit is posted about 200′ down the road after you have already been stopped.
