The DPW Transportation Division works closely with the DPW Highway Division in the planning, maintenance and operation of all traffic control and street name signs, pavement markings, street lights, traffic signals, parking meters and parking-related signs.

	Traffic/Parking Signs and Pavement Markings: The DPW Highway Division manufactures, installs, and maintains all regulatory (stop, speed limit), guide (street name), warning (stop ahead), parking (no parking), and construction (detour) signs. Signs are replaced when damaged or faded, posts straightened when needed, and tree limbs/vegetation cut back for visibility. Street striping such as stop bars, crosswalks, parking stall boundaries, shoulder markings, and lane lines on town streets are also maintained by the DPW Highway Division. Contact the DPW Transportation Division if you believe the placement of a traffic control sign, parking sign, or pavement marking is warranted for safety reasons at a specific location. Report any damaged, missing, or faded sign or markings to the DPW Highway Division at (617)646-2700.
