Selectboard discusses No Parking signs, speed limits and sight-line safety on town roads
Summary
The board reviewed parking and traffic safety, noting existing No Parking signs in front of The Weston have been in place since 1977 and that removing them would not allow large trucks to park because of sight-line concerns; speed-limit signage on Boynton Road was deemed impractical due to blind curves and statutory limits.
Jim Linville said the town has authority to request No Parking signs on state roads and noted that the signs in front of The Weston have "been in place since 1977." He warned that removing the signs would not permit large trucks to park along the road because of sight-line concerns.
The board also discussed a resident's request for speed-limit signs on Boynton Road but noted that consistent limits would be impractical given numerous blind curves and the statutory default speed limit. The board tasked the Road Foreman to review mailbox-accessibility concerns raised separately and recorded no immediate changes to parking signage at this meeting.
