The Town of Baldwin would like to remind all snow operatators and homeowners that snow placed the road is ILLEGAL!!!
State law under 29-A § 2396: "a person may not place and allow to remain
on a public way snow or slush that has not accumulated there naturally"
(a "public way" is defined as the entire right of way width of a state, county, or
municipal roadway over which the general public has a right to pass.) The Right of way
width also includes ditches and at least a 2-foot shoulder from the edge of the road.
It is illegal to plow snow, ice, or slush onto or across a road because it can present a
serious traffic safety hazard to drivers and to the plow operators.
* It is considered a traffic infraction and the penalty under State Law is up to
$500, suspension of a license, or both.
* under Maine's criminal code, this act is considered an obstruction of a public
way and is a public nuisance and can be prosecuted as a civil action in Maine
Superior Court.
Some Maine towns/cities give verbal or written warnings first while others issue
written violation notices with penalties. Because this "unnatural" snow or ice freezes
differently in the road or along the snowbank, it is known to have caused vehicle
damage along with plow and/or wing damage in some towns. In a snowy winter season
when snowbanks narrow up the road width, these added frozen piles can cause
drivers to swerve around them and endanger oncoming vehicles,

Notice to Baldwin Residents
The Baldwin Select Board is seeking two residents to serve as our community’s representatives on the Saco River Corridor Commission. Baldwin has a history of leadership on the SRCC. The Saco River Corridor Commission serves 20 municipalities. Each town is represented by a regular and alternate member. Membership is as diverse as the communities served and represents a cross-section of valley life and values.
Serving without compensation for their time, efforts, or expenses, the commissioners are constant proof that land use controls can be effectively and sensibly administered at a regional level by area residents. Members and alternates are appointed by their respective town officials.
Members are appointed to serve a three-year term. Regular members have full voting and participatory rights in all proceedings of the full commission and its committees. Alternate members are allowed to participate in all proceedings of the full commission but may only vote in the absence of the regular member. Both regular and alternate members may serve on subcommittees.
You can learn more about the SRCC at www.srcc-maine.org
Call Robyn Anderson at 207-625-9107 if you are interested in applying.
Thank you for your interest,
Sincerely,
Baldwin Select Board
