Sign Replacement
In 2003, the department began the multi-year systematic replacement of the older green street signs with new high-visibility blue street signs that comply with the current federal highway administration standards.
The new signs have a higher level of reflectivity and larger lettering to enhance readability in periods of minimal luminescence.
Additional Responsibilities
The Traffic Systems Group manages the repainting of:
- Yellow center line
- White edge line
- 730 crosswalks
In addition, the department installs and/or replaces hundreds of regulatory signs and advisory signs either by direction of the Board of Selectmen or as required through routine maintenance practices.
