§ 1010. Special occasions; town highway maintenance (a) When it appears that traffic will be congested by reason of a public occasion or when a town highway is being reconstructed or maintained or where utilities are being installed, relocated, or maintained, the legislative body of a municipality may adopt ordinances as to the speed of motor vehicles, may exclude motor vehicles from town highways, and may adopt traffic ordinances as the public good requires. However, signs indicating the ordinances must be conspicuously posted in and near all affected areas, giving as much notice as possible to the public so that alternative routes of travel could be considered. (b) Notwithstanding the maximum penalty established in section 2302 of this title and the waiver penalties established under 4 V.S.A. § 1102(d), the civil penalty for violating a speed limit established under the worksite provision of this section shall be twice the penalty for a non-worksite speed limit violation.
