NOTICE OF TEMPORARY CLOSING OF ROADS PURSUANT TO

SECTION 1660 OF THE NEW YORK STATE

VEHICLE AND TRAFFIC LAW

The Town of Moreau Highway Superintendent advises that there will be a temporary closing of certain Town Roads effective immediately to any vehicle with a gross weight of more than four (4) tons. Erection of proper signs will identify the specific roads. The exclusion shall remain in effect until the removal of the signs as directed by the Town Highway Superintendent. All heavy duty contractors, well drillers, haulers of concrete, logs, lumber, sand, gravel, crushed stone, blocks, fuel oil, gasoline and similar items should take notice and arrange their work schedules accordingly. Cooperation during spring thawing will protect the public investment in our roads.

Town's Right-of-Way

Residents are asked to have all parked cars and basketball hoops removed from the town's right-of-way.  During the winter season, these present a hazard to our snow plows and prevents them from properly cleaning the roads.

As per our Town of Moreau Code, Chapter 136, Article III, Paragraph 136-13, "The parking of vehicles is prohibited on all highways, roads, streets and right-of-ways, including all paved and non-paved areas and shoulders within the Town from November 1 to May 1.  Any vehicle parked in a restricted area during a snow storm or at such time when the Highway Department is removing snow from above stated areas, may by authority of the Highway Superintendent, be removed".
