About this file

This document is a detailed tow zone assignment file for Massachusetts State Police Troop D, covering specific geographic regions across multiple counties on Cape Cod and southeastern Massachusetts. The document breaks down towing service requirements into two categories (Category I and Category II) for seven different service points: Norwell, South Yarmouth, Dartmouth, Middleboro, Oak Bluffs, Nantucket, and Bourne. Each service point has designated zones with specific geographic boundaries, listing the cities/towns included, route segments, and required equipment specifications. The zones are designed to provide comprehensive towing coverage, with each zone requiring a "full complement" of towing equipment meeting precise specifications outlined in sections 6.2.1 and 6.3.1.

The document highlights unique regional challenges and special considerations for each service point, such as seasonal traffic variations, limited breakdown lanes, bridge crossings, and access limitations. Notable considerations include extremely high summer traffic volumes in Cape Cod areas, the need for quick clearance during peak hours, specific routing challenges like two-lane highways, and special access requirements like ferry-only accessibility for islands like Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. Equipment requirements vary slightly between zones, with some island locations requiring specific vehicle types like four-wheel drive trucks, and some zones needing a specific mix of tow vehicles such as one flatbed and one wrecker.
