The harsh winters of the northeast environment challenges the department to provide safe and efficient roadway movement to residents and the traveling public. The Town has set a standard to assure that emergency vehicles can navigate through treacherous weather.
There are 1,390 streetlights along the Town's roads and in public lots, 1,216 regulatory signs, and over 976 street name signs. The Highway Department maintains all these as well as traffic signs, street pavement markings, and striping.
