Such warning sign shall be installed at the developer's own cost. Sign message shall read: "Notice: Unaccepted Street, Maintenance is the Responsibility of Developer or ABUTTERs, Pass at Own Risk." This warning sign shall remain in place until the STREET in question is accepted by the Town. Until Town STREET acceptance, sign maintenance shall be the responsibility of the developer.

The winter maintenance bond shall be separate from the SUBDIVISION performance bond and any escrow fees that the developer establishes with the Town. The winter maintenance bond shall be designed to reimburse the Town for the potential cost of maintaining an unaccepted street, should said party of responsibility fail to do so in a manner deemed acceptable by the Town PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR, resulting in the Town being forced to use the Emergency Lane Statute (i.e., NH RSA 231:59-a) to maintain the street.
