RE: Signal 11-F on Route US 9.
,Signal 13-F on Route 9-L.
Gentlemen:
The National lianual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
for street& and highways, as published by the Bureau of Public
Roads, now requires that two indications on each approach be
displayed on all signals located on Federal Aid highways.
New York State will, this year, adopt this standard for all
highways.
The State Department of Public Works is engaged in a
program of reconstructing state-maintained signals in con-
formance ,with the new standard. Permit signals are subject
to the same requirements or standards as state-maintained
signals with respect to public highways. It is therefore
necessary that permit signals_ also be brought up to new
standards. _
When the state-maintained signals in your area are re- .
viewed preparatory to resonstruction, .your permit signal will
also be reciewed and the changes necessary will be determined.
Re-installation of the signal to meet the new standards will be
your responsibility. A rider to your permit will then be issued,
detailing the changes which you must make.
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that tbire will
definitely be changes required in 'your present signal installations.
It will be expected that the .work'necessary to bring the signal
into conformance with, the terms of the rider will be performed
within a reasonable length of time. You will hear from us further
when the permit rider is issued.
Very truly yours,'
