In September, the Police Department deployed a stealth radar unit on Silver Street to capture the number of vehicles and their speeds. The results of the 4 day survey are:
Total vehicles 6884
36-40 mph 2800
31-35 mph 1971
41-45 mph 944
26-30 mph 677
21-25 mph 304
46-50 mph 136
16-20 mph 33
11-15 mph 8
56-60 mph 5
51-55 mph 3
70+ 3
Fortunately the majority of the vehicles are travelling at or below the posted limit. We are working on reducing the number of vehicles travelling at excessive speeds by increasing time spent on Silver Street to monitor traffic. We will publish additional analysis of other streets as they become available. Please contact Chief Robert Ducharme at 742-8549, ext 303 if you would like an analysis done on your roadway.
