As part of the Town of Newmarket's Speed Management Program, the Town will begin yellow centreline and white edge line painting on various streets in Town starting May 31 between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. (weather dependent) - see map for details.
These line markings are integral to a safer Newmarket as they indicate where the lanes are, signal where it's safe to pass, and guide drivers and pedestrians through intersections safely while providing visual cues to prevent accidents. Urban shoulders also assist with slowing down traffic as a traffic calming measure by making the road seem narrower.
After the line painting work, any parking restrictions that were in place will remain the same, and on-street parking will continue to be permitted in accordance with the Town's parking bylaws.
lease be advised that the contractor may ask residents near the area to move their vehicle(s) from the roadway to allow them to proceed with the work. Please also note that the Town cannot be held responsible for damage to any privately owned items (vehicles and trailers etc.) that are on Town property in the right of way or on the street.
For more information about Town's traffic management programs is available on the Town's website at: newmarket.ca/safetydriven
