🚗 SLOW DOWN - IN OUR TOWN: YARD SIGN PILOT PROGRAM

As students, families, pedestrians and cyclists return to our roads for the new school year, we’re asking everyone to help us keep Sandwich streets safe. 💙

The Town of Sandwich is launching a residential sign pilot program as part of our Slow Down - In Our Town public safety initiative. A limited number of campaign signs will be available for residents to display on private property for 30 days.

📅 Display period: August 31–September 30, 2026
📍 Pick-up: Town Manager's Office, Sandwich Municipal Office Building, 100 Route 6A
🕣 Pick-up hours: Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.
🏡 One sign per residence/property, while supplies last

Signs must be placed on private property with the property owner's permission and may not be altered or placed on Town/public property, utility poles, sidewalks or within the public right-of-way.

At the end of the 30-day period, signs and metal stakes should be returned to the Sandwich Municipal Office Building so they can be reused for future public safety campaigns.

Please see the following handout for additional details on the program: https://www.sandwichmass.org/DocumentCenter/View/11591/Slow-Down---In-Our-Town---Yard-Sign-Handout

Slow down. Stay alert. Look out for one another. Together, we can help make Sandwich's roads safer for everyone. 💙
