Dear Sir:
We wish to reply to your letter of October 4, 1966. but personnel limiUtions made It impossible to obtain any factual daU. Our letter dated September 30 explained why the department has been unable to approve the installation of four-way stop control on ]4oute 47 at Main Street in Hontley.
Actually 4-way stop control, dur¬ ing a busy period is much more hazardous for pedestrians. Drivers are so involved watching other dri¬ vers and making sure they get their turn that oedestrians are overlooked. It is also confusing for pedestrains because some drivers turn left, others right, so it is diffi¬ cult to watch all posible move¬ ments.
The Manual, however, sete up various requiremenU both in traf* flc voltjmes and other considerate^ ions. By statewide observance ot
ee Mtfn^l we are able to main- in more or less uniform signing and marking. There wiuld be con¬ siderably more confask>n and less voluntary cooperation by motorisU if each community was permitted to establish their own traffic con¬ trols, regulations and system of signs. Your interest and concern in this
matter is appreciated.
Very truly yours, J.  H. Dinkheller District Engineer By Fred C. Mason
