Lack of stop sign raises concern in Sheffield

SHEFFIELD – Citizens brought forward their concerns about traffic at the intersections on Bow Wow Road with Bears Den Road and Miller Avenue at the latest select board meeting.

Police Chief Eric R. Munson III addressed the concerns and explained some of the data the force has collected on the intersection.

According to Chief Munson the average speed in the area was 39 miles an hour, four miles per hour over the posted speed limit.

Chief Munson said they have been stationed in the area as well and have written nine tickets for failure to stop at the Bears Den Road stop sign.

The selectmen and Chief Munson agreed they will continue to look at the intersection and they will explore the possibility of adding a new stop sign to the Miller Avenue intersection.
