Universal Citation: NH Admin Rules Tra 311.05

Current through Register No. 40, October 3, 2024

(a) A request for a DWI sign assembly may only be requested by the victim's next-of-kin. A request may include application for the name of an additional victim of the same accident, provided the applicant obtains the written consent of the other victim's next of kin.

(b) The bureau of traffic shall approve a request for a DWI sign assembly unless an office review, comments from a maintenance district, or a field review of the proposed location discloses an issue sufficient to deny the request under Tra 311.05(c), Tra 311.05(d) or Tra 311.07.

(c) The bureau of traffic shall conduct an office review of the request for a DWI sign assembly. In the event of an incomplete application, the bureau shall request that the applicant provide the additional information. If the information is not provided within 90 days, the bureau of traffic shall deny the application.

(d) Once the application and all required documents are complete, the bureau of traffic shall conduct a field review of the proposed location and within 60 days, or as soon as practicable, shall deny the application if the proposed location:

(1) Limits a road user's ability to see an existing official traffic control device far enough in advance to act upon the message;

(2) Would result in unreasonable confusion for the road user due to the presence of multiple official traffic control devices, private signs, driveways, or turning movements;

(3) Would unreasonably interfere with highway maintenance efforts; or

(4) An abutting landowner objects to the location and relocation cannot be accommodated.
