Rehoboth Selectmen Approve Stop Signs

The Rehoboth Board of Selectmen have approved the installation of stop signs at two busy intersections in town in an effort to reduce speeding.

Based on the recommendations of Police Chief James Trombetta and Kevin Chase, the Highway Department Superintendent, the signs will be placed at Homestead Avenue and Perryville Road and at Homestead Avenue and Rocky Hill Road.

Last October, several residents expressed their frustration about motorists speeding on town roads, particularly Homestead Avenue.  Trombetta noted there had been 9 accidents on that roadway this year. "We do get a lot of calls, as far as people not stopping for stop signs, four-way intersections, and so forth," Trombetta said, noting some of the accidents were due to snowy and icy roads.
