New Signage Installed in Saratoga Springs
New signage, this one at Broadway and Circular, to complement new SSPD Traffic Unit.
SARATOGA SPRINGS — A new sign initiative aimed at increasing public safety has been installed in a handful of locations across the city, Public Safety Commissioner Tim Coll said in a statement.
The new signage will complement the new SSPD Traffic Unit – expected to become operational in January.
The new informational signage has been installed at:
– Route 9, near the entrance to the Code Blue Shelter that reads, “Pedestrian Crossing, Use Caution.” Earlier this year, a homeless individual was struck by a vehicle crossing Route 9, in the vicinity of the shelter.
– Broadway (both directions), at the intersection of Circular Street, two installed signs read, “For Your Safety and Theirs, Please Do Not Give Money to Persons in the Roadway.”
– At the three Taxis Stands in the City, signs that read, “Area Under Surveillance, Unregulated Taxi Operations Will be Prosecuted.”
Additional signage will be added prior to track season, according to the city.
