DRAFT 2011 Revised Road Posting Policy PDF Print E-mail

The Board of Selectmen will conduct a Public Hearing on a revised Spring Road Posting Policy on Mon. June 27, 2011 at 7:00 PM at Town Hall 16 Main St.

Any person with a disability who needs a reasonable accommodation, please call the Town Hall (497-8990 ext 100) at least 72 hours in advance for arrangements.

Each spring, as frost thaws, many roads in Goffstown experience significant loss of strength due to excess water being trapped in the roadway’s base materials.  This trapped water reduces the ability of the roadway to carry heavy loads without damaging the asphalt surface. We have also experienced periods of intense flooding which weakened our road bases. In order to prevent roadway damage and to protect the large infrastructure investment the Town must employ load/weight restrictions in accordance with RSA 231:191.


The Town recognizes that the economy of our area depends on trucks hauling various types of freight over our roads. The Town intends this policy to try to be fair to the trucking industry while protecting our infrastructure investment.

The Director of Public Works and/or his assignee will be responsible for carrying out this policy and a copy of this policy will be available in the Selectmen’s Office and by request at the Department of Public Works.
