The municipal officers of any municipality that erects or places a barrier across a town way shall cause the barrier to be marked in a manner that causes the barrier to be visible to a person traveling on the town way towards the barrier on a snowmobile, all-terrain vehicle, motorcycle or similar vehicle. The officers shall cause the barrier to be marked in a manner making the barrier visible at a distance that is a reasonable stopping distance. A barrier may be marked by flags, fluorescent coloring, signs or in any other manner making the barrier visible as required in this section.

The municipal officers shall cause barriers marked under this section to be inspected periodically to ensure that the marking remains.
