Edgartown Police: Driving Laws Apply During Coronavirus Crisis

EDGARTOWN, MA — While traffic is lighter, with most residents only leaving their homes for essential business on the island, that does not mean that driving laws are eased or suspended during the new coronavirus pandemic.

Edgrtown police said during the pandemic they have seen an increase in speeding and violations of the new hand-free cell phone law in the state. They remind residents these offenses will still be enforced — phone down, slow down on the island.
