GUILFORD — I have personally attended a few Selectboard meetings and have brought up the issue of speeding in Guilford center, as have a few other concerned neighbors.
Long story short, I was directed to and contacted by Trooper Christopher Buckley of the Vermont State Police. I informed him of my concerns.
I even elaborated on the specific time of day when the most prolific speeding (cars and commercial trucks going 10 to 15 mph - sometimes 20 mph or more - over the speed limit) takes place.
I even gave specific descriptions of vehicles that were regular violators.
None of this information was used to my knowledge, and I suspect that the VSP patrol coincided with a very, very low-traffic time of day in Guilford center.
That said, I (we) are very thankful for the people responsible for moving the speed limit signs south on Center Road and the road crew's efforts in using the electronic signs that signaled “Slow down/35mph zone.”
Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you may have regarding this matter.
