Selectboard moves to buy portable speed units as sheriff steps up enforcement on Route 30
Summary
After a resident complaint about speeding on Route 30, the sheriff increased early-morning enforcement; the town received pricing of $3,500 per portable speed unit and plans to order additional units for spring/late-winter installation.
The Selectboard discussed village traffic and speeding in East Dorset after staff and the sheriff responded to a complaint from a resident. According to the minutes, the sheriff spent early mornings in the Route 30 area to try to impact traffic patterns.
Board members reviewed pricing for two additional portable speed units at $3,500 apiece and agreed to order the units for anticipated installation in spring or late winter. No formal vote record beyond the spending decision was recorded in the minutes; the action reflects a combination of enforcement and engineering/technology approaches to curb speeding concerns.
