Essex Selectmen Vote to Add Stop Sign on River Road

At the November 4, 2009 Board of Selectmen meeting, the Traffic Authority unanimously approved to have a third stop sign installed on River Road going northbound at the Book Hill intersection. The stop sign will be installed on December 20, 2009.

UPDATE: The Essex Town Hall wrote to us to say they mistakenly sent us the date of December 20th. The new sign will be installed on November 20th.

    Who is the "Traffic Authority"? Was this stop sign item on the 11/4 agenda?

    Yes the item was on the recent agenda for the Board of Selectmen.

    Many towns have a separate traffic authority for deciding matters like traffic signs and other related items on town-owned roads. Because Essex does not have a separate commission, the Board of Selectmen serves as the traffic authority. State statutes require the Board of Selectmen to make a motion to convene themselves as the traffic authority when deciding matters like the stop sign referenced in the article.

    We were in favor of STOP sign #2 (River Road south @ BookHill Road) but are strongly opposed to STOP sign #3 (River Road north). Unnecessary overkill.
