Weight limits

Chairman of the town board's traffic safety committee argues there's no need for an expensive traffic study— the solution is simple: confine heavy truck through-traffic to state and county roads in Riverhead.

While the Riverhead Town Board is considering imposing an eight-ton weight limit on Twomey Avenue in Calverton, some local residents are demanding that the town impose weight and size limits on all local roads. They are gathering signatures on an online petition to support the move.
