21 Request for Left Turn Indications
22
23 Dear Mr. Judge:
24
25 We have received the Greenfield District's report and traffic
26 engineering investigation for the addition of left turn arrows at
27 the above references location.
28
29 A review and engineering analysis by this office of the data
30 submitted,indicated that the left turning vehicular volume and
31 opposing through traffic volumes are too low to require the need for
32 a separate left turn arrow indication and phase. The installation
33 of a turn arrow would penalize the through traffic movements
34 throught the intersection as the time for the turn arrow would
35 have to be removed from the time now used for one or more through
36 traffic movements.
37
38 The net result would, therefore, be a reduction in the effi-
39 ciency of the signal operation with more delay to most of the people
40 using the signal .
41
42 In closing, we thank you for your interest in traffic safety
43 and for bringing this location to our attention. Be assured that
44 our Greenfield District will continue to observe this location for
45 the inclusion of any additional traffic controls as they are needed.
46
47 Very truly yours ,
48 /s/ Clinton A. Venable

60 Back in 1972 when Reid held its first open house, we contracted
61 with Rose City Bus Lines for service paid for by Reid so we
62 could handle an open house and avoid the parking hassle.
