A patrol car has been monitoring the speed and the average <br /> speed is 46 miles per hours . <br /> Although there will be a traffic light in the future , there should also be <br /> a flashing light and sign that says school zone . A school zone posting <br /> automatically .reduces the speed limit to 20 miles per hour . <br /> Peter said Route 151 is not the purview of this Committee . The work is <br /> being done by DPW. <br /> Joel said a traffic analysis had to be done of the intersection, based on <br /> it MA Highway directed VHB/Town to do only the work warranted under those <br /> standards . <br /> Dr. DeMoura said there are presently 11 kids who walk across that <br /> intersection. There is a crossing guard but people don ' t slow down. The <br /> best way to get traffic to slow is a flashing light . He understands the <br /> issue is one of funding. He suggested we explore solar panel lights . <br /> Bill said the police department should have a car there for when the <br /> students come and go . <br /> Dr. DeMoura explained that they consider it an extra detail and the school <br /> dept cannot afford it . <br /> Steve said Greg Taylor has to be involved . <br /> 7r.
