PAWTUCKET — If you’re going to McCoy Stadium to get a COVID-19 test, beware of the speed camera.
Hundreds of motorists have discovered the hard way that the path to the testing site leads past Jenks Middle School on Division Street, where a speed camera is stationed just beyond the center-field wall parking lot.
“I’m not looking at the speed-limit signs; I’m looking for the COVID signs,” said Jim Lowder of Warwick of his trip to McCoy last month. Lowder was clocked going 33 mph in a 20-mph zone on Dec. 3.
“A week or two later I get a $50 ticket in the mail," he said. "I'm like: ‘What the heck?’”
