REC NDATION:-- TRAFFIC DIRECTOR ( JEFFERSON & CAMDEN INTERSECTION )
Studies made by the Traffic Director at the intersection of Jefferson
and Camden indicate that insufficient warrants exist for a 4-way stop
regulation.
It is recomc-ended that stop signs�be removed from Jefferson at that -
intersection since this is the major street. The approach on Camden can
be marked properly and continued studies will be made.
Following this recommendation, the Board approved the change.
RECMMNDATION: TRAFFIC DIRECTOR ( DONMOYER AND MIAMI INTERSECTION )
Studies made at the intersection of Donmoyer and Miami to determine if
warrants exist for installations of traffic signals indicate that such
a condition does exist.
Studies also show that a signalization program on Miami should include the
intersection of Irvington and Miami. Instead of semi -actuated traffic
signals, it is recommended that fixed time signals, interconnected, should
be installed.
Before any action is taken on this recommendation, the Board referred
the report from Mr. Hazinski to the City Controller for the purpose of
checking the budget.
