📰 News we're reading

• Rhode Island school-zone speed cameras are turning back on: here's where they're located (wpri.com) — Exeter drivers won't see any school‑zone speed cameras this year, since the town remains under Rhode Island State Police jurisdiction and has no plans to install them. A statewide review shows which nearby communities are turning cameras back on, when they'll operate, and where they're placed, helping Exeter families plan safer school commutes across Rhode Island.
