<br />I <br /> <br />City Council <br />Page 2 <br />July 6, 1967 <br /> <br />gave the order to put up the light. But nothing can be found <br />of record to that effect. Even if found, it would probably be <br />invalid in view of the above-quoted Section 30 (b) of Article <br />6701d. <br /> <br />So, the violation in the cited instance must go un-punished. <br />That by itself may not be a calamity. But, if disregard for <br />all of our traffic-control devices becomes paramount, because of <br />general knowledge of the lack of due authority, you can very <br />well imagine the utter chaos that may result. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />To partially head off such catastrophe, 1 would recommend <br />the adoption of an ordinance specifying the location of control <br />devices at all intersections that are not a part of the State <br />Highway system and at which the traffic rate is great enough to <br />so demand. This would still leave State Highway intersections <br />without regulation. Consultation with the State Highway Depart- <br />ment in an all-out effort to pursuade that bureau to authorize <br />establishment of signals at the desired points along highway <br />intersections would seem imperative. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, " <br /> <br />al*~tt ~, {[U~~J <br /> <br />Albert M.
