Canterbury to post roads after March 7 for mud season; planning board to review traffic-counter report
Summary
Select board agreed to begin road postings after March 7 and discussed a traffic-counter report that planning and highway departments will use to prioritize roadwork and repairs.
The select board scheduled road postings to begin after March 7 to manage the town’s mud-season restrictions and discussed a recently produced traffic-counter report that the planning board and highway department will use.
The board agreed that the road-posting announcement should appear at the March 3 meeting. The postings are intended to limit traffic and protect road surfaces during thaw and soft-ground conditions. The highway official and planning board were identified as primary users of the traffic-count data; officials said the report helps the highway foreman set repair priorities and informs the planning board about traffic spikes.
Members asked for clarifications on specific road names and counts. The report identifies roads with higher traffic volumes and flags locations for potential repairs. The board agreed to forward the traffic-counter data to the planning board and to place the item on the agenda for the next meeting for further review.
