Rye Police: Be Aware of Coastal Evacuation Route if Needed

A message from Rye City Police.

 

In the event of an emergency evacuation of coastal areas, the preferred route will be Forest Avenue to Oakland Beach Avenue, north on Boston Post Road to Old Post Road, to Interstate 95. Signs have been posted along that route. 

Please note that those roads typically remain open while locations on Milton Road, Playland Parkway, Midland Avenue, and Boston Post Road flood. However, during a coastal event, Forest Avenue is likely to become inaccessible as well. Residents should prepare to leave vulnerable areas well in advance of that point. 

REMEMBER: NEVER DRIVE INTO STANDING WATER.

Let's look at the appropriateness of this post. First, it's clearly an ad because it points to aRead More specific insurance agent at a specific agency to contact. Second, it attempts to hide being an ad behind what may be useful information (or not). Third, the "person" who posted it doesn't use their real name. Instead, they use a pseudonym Divorce Information NOW. That doesn’t seem terribly reassuring to me. This the third advertising post on the “announcements” space since Rye Patch converted to the new site layout. Seems a bit of a mess to me. But hopefully someone will come along and figure out who the real poster is, their link to the advertised agent and agency, and then delete the post. After all, if it’s an ad, it should be labeled as such and the poster should pay for having it run. If that doesn’t happen, Patch won’t be able to pay its employees to keep real content on the site.
