On June 17, a Newtown Police Department speed display was positioned along the northbound shoulder of Toddy Hill Road, just north of its intersection with Pilgrim Lane. The device indicates that the pickup truck traveling past it is going 32 miles per hour in that 30-mph zone. Had the truck been going 40 mph or faster, brilliant red and blue lights atop the display would have been flashing. —Bee Photo, Gorosko
