Summary

The board reaffirmed its prior direction to request that the New Hampshire Department of Transportation review and consider reducing the speed limit where direction-specific limits differ on the Route 28 bypass; staff said DOT prefers not to have differing directional limits and will be asked to review sight-distance and speed data.

The Hooksett Planning Board reaffirmed Nov. 3 that staff should send a letter to the New Hampshire Department of Transportation requesting a review of the speed limit on the Route 28 bypass where posted speeds differ by direction.

Staff reported earlier discussions and guidance from DOT staff indicating the department typically avoids differing speed limits in the same location by direction but will accept requests accompanied by sight-distance and supporting documentation. Planning staff said they would send the letter and the site-distance information to DOT the next day.

The motion to have staff send the letter was presented as an action carried forward from the board's prior meeting; members confirmed they had approved that request previously and staff said they would transmit the formal request to DOT the following day.
