COVENTRY, RI—Poor road conditions caused by an early-spring snowstorm has necessitated a parking ban, according to Coventry police.

Coventry residents will be required to observe the ban from 2 p.m. Monday until 1 a.m. Tuesday.

The ban was not announced until Monday afternoon when a second round of snow showers began delivering thick flakes that covered the road and added to the accumulation already on the ground.
