Signs bearing the words "unassumed road use at own risk" designate streets yet to be so-called assumed or newly added sectors of thoroughfares already assumed. A member of the Town's Public Works Department says the signs arc of an "advisory type" meant to inform the general general public that the street in question has yet to be assumed responsibility by the municipality. municipality. "The developer (of the street) is liable for damages," says Tony Cannella, who heads the engineering section of the department. The signs go up immediately immediately after a street is in place in an area still under development. The signs serve to advise the general public that "they've got to be a little careful until the road is finally assumed, or accepted," Cannella told an interviewer interviewer last week. "Acceptance goes through the (Town) Council. But first we have to report that the road has gone through a guarantee period." During the so-called guarantee guarantee period the developer is responsible for maintaining the road under rules and guidelines agreed upon earlier between him and the municipality. The advisory signs arc taken taken down after the town has assumed assumed the street or road in question. ■ The signs are usually in place "on an average at least three years, more likely closer to four years," Cannella said. Early in 1992 a set of "unassumed "unassumed road" signs will disappear disappear in an almost four-year- old sub-division west of Trulls Road in south Courtice.
