Seekonk Selectmen Approve Speed Restrictions

The Board of Selectmen approved the establishment of a school zone in an effort to reduce the speed of motorists near Seekonk High School.

David Cabral, the Department of Public Works Superintendent, said the speed would be restricted on Arcade Avenue for a 20-30 minute period at the beginning and end of the school day.

A traffic light will be installed at the intersection of Arcade Avenue and Ledge Road in addition to two flashing signs which will be paid for with grant money.

Cabral said the new signs will make driving “a lot safer” near Seekonk High School.

A sidewalk improvement project on Arcade Avenue is also ongoing.

The changes will take place before the beginning of the new school year in September, Cabral added.
