B.
Certain streets and roads have been numbered which are not town roads.

[Adopted STM 9-30-1986 by Ord. No. 43]
The purpose of this Article is to promote public safety and
convenience by requiring visible street numbering in order that addresses
may be identified from town roads to ease and speed essential emergency
services, such as fire-fighting, police and emergency medical care.
Pursuant to C.G.S. § 7-148, the town shall assign
street numbers to all property and structures fronting on any street
or highway within the town and may change numbers if necessary to
have a more orderly numbering system. When new streets are laid out,
the town shall promptly assign numbers to each property or structure
on said street. The town may assign numbers to private roads which
have not been accepted by the town or which pass through private property.
Such assignment of numbers shall not be construed as acceptance of
such streets or highways or any portion thereof by the town. The town
shall be required to notify persons of the number assigned to any
property or structure. The town shall maintain maps showing the street
numbers assigned to each property or structure, and such maps and
records shall be open for public inspection.
Each owner, agent or occupant shall affix to said building or
part thereof or to some object appurtenant thereto the street number
or numbers assigned by the town. All numbers shall be affixed so as
to be visible from a town street or highway. Numbers shall be affixed
within 60 days of receipt of notice from the town.
Each owner, agent or occupant of any building or part thereof
who shall fail to affix to the appropriate building the number assigned
by the town within a period of 60 days from the date of receipt of
notice of such assignment shall be punished by a fine of not more
than $100 for each offense, and each day thereafter of failure to
comply with the direction of the town shall constitute a separate
and distinct offense.
