FOXBORO - Selectmen have approved a nighttime truck exclusion for Beach and North streets.

The board amended the town's traffic regulations to exclude heavy commercial vehicles from the two streets from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., seven days a week.

As part of the Patriot Place construction mitigation package, the Kraft Group agreed to prepare a truck exclusion study.

Based on that study by Vanesse & Associates, the Massachusetts Highway Department gave the green light for the nighttime truck ban. MassHighway would issue the final permit.

During public hearings when Patriot Place was proposed, residents expressed concerns about traffic speed, pedestrian safety and heavy truck noise and dangers. The mitigation package addresses all three issues, Town Planner Marc Resnick said.

Traffic calming structures have been installed on Beach Street, sidewalks have been extended on North Street and the truck exclusion plan is potentially on the way.
