Gentlemen:
This refers to the joint request from the Town Board
and the Warren County Superintendent of Highways for the
establishment of a school speed limit on Aviation Road
adjacent to the Queensbury Junior and Senior High Schools.
We have advised our- field personnel to make an inves-
tigation at the above location, to determine if the school
speed limit is warranted. Upon receipt of the field infor-
mation, you will be advised of the Department' s conclusions.
We would like to point out that before a school speed
limit can be established, the following conditions must exist:
(1) The school crossing within the zone must be supervised.
(2) The schools involved must include one or more grades
below Grade 10.
(3) That there is no traffic control signal, pedestrian
overpass or under pass, or highway grade separation
appropriate for use by pedestrians crossing the high-
way involved within the zone or within 450 feet of the
near end of the zone.
(4) The zone must contain a *arked crosswalk. If a. regu-
lation is established, the marked crosswalk may be
applied after it is established rather than before.
Until, and if, a school speed limit is established, the
R-5A speed limit signs posting the 15MPH limit are to be
removed. The W.96 school signs and the flashing beacons may
remain.
-- Very truly yours,
CHARLES E. BESANCENEY, Director
