Reply to comment by Coincel_pro in Flashing Yellow School Zone Speed Signs Should be Mandatory Alongside Zone Cameras by BiffBiffkenson
I know in front of Bay View there were yellow flashing school zone lights, those were removed and now there are large black and white signs saying school zone. If you didn't know the area you could easily miss that which is the idea and just continue at the speed limit.

It is mainly the NY, NJ, MA, CT plates that completely ignore that because they don't care. Portsmouth PD are rarely there ime.
I have seen out of State cars zig zag through cars going 20 through there.

coyote is a pretty well known term at this point. making fun of someone else for knowing it while you're sitting there ignorant is a dumb look

School areas have always been designated school traffic zones at least in my lifetime which goes back 6 decades.

Not knowing where a school is is not an excuse to speed. City speed limits are 25 anyway (only 5 above school zone limit) and to get a ticket you have to be doing 29/30 anyway so you were already speeding that’s the reality. So leadfoot still applies. Blaming signage is just an excuse.

I can name several places where the flashing yellow signs were removed in EP when the camera setups were installed.. The only signs i see are large black and white signs - not neon. My experience is mainly with EP with regard to these set ups.

Those signs don't exist in most places that have these zone cameras, in fact if you actually read what I wrote you'd know in many cases in EP the flashing yellow signs for school zones were removed.

You could learn how to drive and none of this will be a problem.

Depends what you're looking for, RI has a lot of great stuff packed into a small area. Great beaches for the summers, solid hiking and other outdoor activities for other seasons. Top seafood. Won't get the urban vibes of a huge city but Boston and NYC are short trips away if thats your thing. Cost of living is relatively high so make sure you have the finances or a gig lined up.
Most RI natives who complain about the state have never lived anywhere else, with no basis for comparison other than short vacations. Anecdotal but all the people I knew who couldnt wait to leave ended up returning within a year or two.

Depends on what you’re looking for! Is there something specific that is drawing you to RI? I love it here but it has gotten really expensive (like a lot of other places).

See the problem is you can put up all the signs in the world but can’t make people read/follow the signs. The school zone on west man rd in Portsmouth has the flashing lights and signs indicating your speed yet people still fly through it. Portsmouth PD is very good at keeping a presence in that school zone when the lights are active but you always have people fly through who don’t care

Why would the irs waste time going after a few hundred dollars when they are understaffed and the return on investment for that is so low? How many poor people do you know who have been audited? Or a better question- who do rich people fear and despise the most? (The IRS, of course) They look for taxpayers who generate red flags like excessive or unlikely deductions to reduce very high dollar tax liabilities, they aren’t wasting time on poor people.

The IRS goes after the small fish much more often; us poors can't afford to fight back.

Funny you mention that. I noticed this coming off the highway going home and didn’t realize how big of a problem it is.
