- A "leaf-peeping" hotspot is temporarily closed to the public at the height of fall foliage season, The Boston Globe reports.
- Local residents say they're fed up with visitors and influencers congesting the road to take pictures.
As autumn crests, a small town in Vermont has shut down a quaint road for three weeks in response to unruly influencers flocking the area for fall content.
$4 locals of Pomfret have become increasingly fed up that Cloudland Road (on which the highly photographable $4 is located) gets clogged with cars, tour buses, and drones flying overhead every season. The outlet reported that some influencers have even trespassed onto private property, leaving trash, and urinating behind shrubbery, while trying to capture the perfect images.
The selectboard of Pomfret voted last month to close the road at the height of foilage season from September 23 to October 15, The Globe reported. Sheriffs will man checkpoints at the bottom and top of the road, ensuring only residents can enter.
