§ 85-2. Safety requirements.

Any person making or causing to be made any excavation or opening in any street, road, sidewalk or other public place or within 25 feet of the line of any street shall, between sunset and sunrise on every night that the same remains open or danger exists therefrom, keep such excavation or opening fenced and barricaded with substantial barriers to assure public safety and adequate warning lights placed so as to properly warn all persons of such excavation or opening and all obstructions. No unauthorized person shall remove or interfere in any way with any such lights, danger signals or any such barriers. Pavement must be cut or sawed before digging so that there are no jagged edges. If the person who made the excavation fails to provide adequate protection, the town may perform such services and charge same to such person.
