Motorists are advised to exercise caution and patience at the Stowe and Cambridge sides of Smugglers’ Notch as new traffic control devices have been installed. These devices, known as chicanes, recreate the configuration of the roadway geometry at the top of the Notch. The objective of the chicanes is to allow overlength vehicles the ability to turn around before causing obstructions in the Notch.
