RADAR SPEED SIGN: Installed
The Town of Surry’s budgeted and approved portable radar speed sign has officially arrived and is now operational. It has been installed at the upper end of Old Walpole Road near Farm Road—a location selected based on high traffic volume and elevated vehicle speeds observed entering Surry from Walpole.
Studies show that displaying drivers’ current speed can reduce average speeds by up to 25%, making this an effective tool for improving road safety. In addition to its visual alert function, the sign’s software collects detailed traffic data in both directions, including:
• Vehicle counts
• Average and maximum speeds
• Timestamps
• Data relevant to evaluating or adjusting posted speed limits
This initial placement will remain for two to three months. Afterward, the sign will be relocated to the next area identified through resident feedback and speeding complaints: Surry Dam Road.
MEETING MINUTES: Stay Informed
After approval, meeting minutes are posted and available for review on the town website.
NH’s OFFICIAL EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM: NH ALERTS
Given what unfortunately appears to be the all too common news about weather events impacting a community and the importance of rapid notification, we thought it was critical to ensure you are aware of NH’s official emergency notification system, NH Alerts.
An additional resource to be aware of is the FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency). The FEMA Mobile phone app allows you to receive real-time weather alterts, locate emergency shelters in your area, prepare for common hazards, and more. The following link will direct you to the FEMA page, where you can find more information and download the application. FEMA Mobile Products | FEMA.gov
