Rehoboth Selectmen Discuss Barney Avenue

The Rehoboth Board of Selectmen discussed ways to improve safety at the intersection of Barney Avenue and Route 6, which has been the site of several accidents.

Selectman Rob Johnson mentioned trimming hedges as a way to make it easier for drivers to navigate.

Another option is to redesign the intersection into a T shape.

“It’s (drivers) trying to take a left (onto Route 6),” Johnson said.

Chairman Skip Vadnais praised the work of the highway department in responding to a recent accident scene at the intersection.

“I hope everyone appreciates what all these guys do,” Vadnais said at Monday’s meeting. “They don’t wait to get told what to do. They’re out there doing it.”
