Whether you’re living in Milton, visiting or just passing through, please obey the town’s speed limits. During a recent DelDOT workshop, information was shared about the record number of tickets that are being given out every month by the hardworking and dedicated Milton Police Department.
With safety as a top priority for the town, below are a few other pieces of advice if you are driving in Milton, especially through the historic district. All of these traffic issues were also raised and discussed at the DelDOT workshop:
• Stop means stop!
• You must stop at pedestrian crosswalks if you see someone crossing the street
• Pay attention to one-way street signs. Milton has several one-way residential streets
• If you are driving an 18-wheeler and you are not making an in-town delivery, use an alternate route, as our town roads are narrow and weren’t built for such large vehicles. Our sidewalks and homes are right up against the main roads. Our historic homes, which we all want to preserve, will thank you too!
• Some streets are only 15 mph. School zones are 20 mph. Read the signs!
• If you see a speed-reading sign while you are driving that starts flashing “slow down,” you really should slow down, or a very nice Milton police officer will pull you over and fine you.
Another reason to obey the town’s speed limits is if you slow down, you will get to enjoy our beautiful, historic town. So spread the word – slow down and enjoy our town! If not, remember to be courteous to our dedicated police officers when they pull you over.
To a safe summer for all!
