Residents press for road markings and deputies to 'keep handing out tickets' after stop-sign enforcement
Summary
Selectboard members and residents discussed recent enforcement at a three-way stop, recommended painted stop bars and agreed to continue ticketing; the budget discussion later accounted for increased patrol hours tied to speeding complaints.
The board heard that deputies recently issued tickets at a three-way stop near a resident's home and that the stop compliance remains poor. Julie, who presented the budget and reported on the enforcement incident, urged continued enforcement: "So, anyway, I said keep handing out tickets," she told the board.
Members supported painting stop bars or white lines in the spring to improve compliance and discussed where to obtain stencils. The traffic-safety topic linked directly to the sheriff-contract discussion: several members said increased patrol hours and ticketing related to an uptick in complaints about speeding, and the board factored that context into the law-enforcement budget conversation.
