TAMWORTH — Selectmen on Tuesday voted to pursue all-way stop signs at Route 16 and Route 113 and in Tamworth Village after holding a listening session at Cook Memorial Library that drew about 20 people.
Last month, selectmen held a meeting in which state Highway Safety Project Engineer Corey Spetelunas and Engineer Emma Bell pitched the possibility of installing “four-way stops” at Routes 113 and 16, Route 113 and Page Hill Road, and Route 113 at 113A and Main Street.
