Select Board lowers speed limit in Sanuit Pond Estates to 25 mph and orders signage
Summary
After a petition from residents, the board voted to reduce the posted speed limit in Sanuit Pond Estates from 30 to 25 mph and tasked DPW with installing additional signs to improve safety and driver awareness.
A representative of the Sanuit Pond Estates homeowners association, Anita Saddak Lapen, asked the Select Board to reduce the posted speed limit within the subdivision from 30 to 25 miles per hour and to add signage at multiple locations. She said there is currently only one sign in a poor location and that residents have observed speeding by residents and visitors.
Mr. Collins and the board discussed statutory authority and implementation steps; staff confirmed the board is authorized to set traffic speeds under the town’s Chapter 90 authority. The board voted unanimously to reduce the speed limit to 25 mph and directed DPW to install additional signs and handle implementation details.
