Newtown hires consultant to study speed mitigation for Toddy Hill Rd

The recurring problem of drivers speeding along Toddy Hill Road in Newtown will be looked at by a traffic engineering firm.  Newtown has contracted with Frederick P Clark Associates to conduct an independent traffic study and then help come up with plans to resolve the issue on the road linking the Sandy Hook section of town to Botsford.  The Newtown Bee reports that Toddy Hill Road experiences about 7,000 vehicle trips daily.  The 30-mile an hour roadway is a shortcut on north/south trips, rather than taking South Main Street.  Data collection has started for the traffic study.  In response to resident complaints on Queen Street and Key Rock Road, traffic calming techniques called speed tables were installed.  The broad speed bumps are aimed at having drivers observe the posted speed limit.  Police Chief James Viadero said in the published report that an electronic speed display and having police posted there has decreased speeds.
