Speed and Weight Limits a Concern on Valley Road

November 09, 2009
Summary:

After complaints from various residents the Town of Whitestown has requested a study of traffic on Valley Road in Oriskany. 

 

As Valley Road is a County owned road and not a Town road the Town was unable to require weight limits but has, however, posted the upcoming Village weight limits along Valley Road to deter heavy weight vehicles from taking Valley Road as their route. 

 

Speed reduction is done through a process with New York State.  We did request a speed study and have just received the results of such study.  On October 29 the Town was notified " Our study at Valley Road was jointly completed with the State Police.  We found that the need for a reduced speed limit has not been met."  Therefore, no change in speed will take place on Valley Road at this time.
