📰 News we're reading

• Rhode Island school-zone speed cameras are turning back on: here's where they're located (wpri.com) — As school starts back up, Exeter residents should know there are currently no school‑zone speed cameras in town, and none are planned, since policing is handled by Rhode Island State Police. A statewide survey shows many nearby communities activating or expanding cameras, so Exeter drivers may still encounter automated enforcement just beyond town lines.
