Contractors Urged to Keep Roadways Clear

Solebury Township is encouraging homeowners to urge their landscaping and other contractors to refrain from parking their trucks in the road.

Vehicles along the sides of the roadways create a hazard for passing cars and pedestrians. Solebury's narrow and winding roads, which contribute much to the Township's bucolic charm, are a challenge for drivers unfamiliar with their twists and turns, even under the best conditions. Trucks, vans and trailers parked along the shoulder block drivers' vision, force cars into the oncoming lane and might not be seen by cars rounding a bend until it's too late to avoid a collision.

Please work with your contractors to ensure they have a safe place to park, off the roadway, for the safety of their equipment, other drivers, and your own peace of mind.
