Pawtucket, Rhode Island Speed Traps
State Route 1
This trap is going south on Broadway, after you pass over the I-95 bridge. This section opens up from one lane to two lanes then three. You would think the speed limit would be at least 30mph, but it is 25mph. They sit on either side of the road right near D’anglelo’s. Pawtucket cops are very sneaky, standing off the side of the road hiding behind/beside cars with hand radar.
East Avenue near High School
There are traps from the Providence line all the way to high school. Limit is 25mph.
Division Street near McCoy Stadium for Pawtucket Red Sox
Police patrol car is on the Division St. side entrance/exit for the McCoy Stadium parking lot, right behind the tall hedges in entrance of the parking lot, which makes police car hard to see at night with only parking lights on.
Middle St, Rte 95 entrance ramp
Cops hide in parking lot of night club on right hand side of road. They catch you as you accelerate to enter Rte. 95. Spped limit is only 25MPH here. Pawtucket is well known for their money making speed tickets. They have their own Municipal Court, which gets them a higher percentage of the money. If they are really out to encourage public safety, why are they only out on beautiful sunny days and not rainy more dangerous ones?
