The summer season is prime time for road construction, and there sure is a lot of it happening in Aroostook County right now.
We've got several notices from the Maine Department of Transportation to pass along to motorists.
With Thanksgiving weekend ahead, RCMP in New Brunswick will be out on the roadways ensuring that motorists are traveling safely. The focus for the RCMP will be on impaired driving, seat belt use, the move-over legislation, and all aspects related to aggressive and distracted driving. This is due, in part, to the increase in motor vehicles collisions that have resulted in injuries so far this year.
Lots of folks will be taking to the highways ahead of the long holiday weekend, and police will be out in force ensuring that people are driving responsibly.
We've got some new intersections here and there throughout Aroostook County, some with roundabouts that really make no sense. I hear people complaining about them all the time. After watching this video I think you'll agree, we really have nothing to complain about.
