Are you intentionally misstating what I am saying? I will chose to think you are not and simply don’t understand the point of either article or what the majority of the posts in this thread are about.

If you read you will see most are not about being inconvenienced they are about town records being gone, inaccessible or held hostage. I was pointing out none of those are the case and all the records this company has, the 18% of the state property record, are available for free at your town clerks office. (Or potentially $4/hr max for you to access the books)

While the company adds value, the response to a private data reseller being offline is, for lack of a better term, ignorant.

If you and your business are experiencing hardships because a private company goes offline, that really sucks for you but is not the same as state records being lost or unavailable.

If you can’t see the difference then I’m not sure what to tell you.

Not sure if that means the intensity has to be approved by the commissioner or just the reflectors and lenses? Im just trying to figure out what the case is now so that when I go to my rep I have as full a picture as possible.

I’m referring to the idea that people in some neighborhoods will petition their town governments to lower the speed limits for perceived safety reasons. Whether that’s actually effective and scientifically provable is another matter. But in such cases you might not think that was in your personal best interest (although we might argue that point as well).

I don't think it's required, but it ought to be in my opinion. Often I'll be at the circle yielding to someone already in the intersection only for them to take the exit right before me with no signal and it feels extremely rude. I always signal out of a rotary, and people seem to appreciate it because it saves then a little bit of time or keeps them from having to stop

AFAIK signaling out of a roundabout is not legally required right? I just tried to look it up and what I found says it’s not a requirement but that you are supposed to signal all changes in directions so now I’m not as sure as I was before I started this comment lol
