According to data obtained from Mr. Booth, accident totals on 7th East from January 1963 to May 1965 are as follows: At 8th South. 26 total accidents, and one injury to a he stated. new request for flashing signals at 33rd South and 7th East has been made. However, there is no such thing as safety that Is dependent on a device, Mr. Johnston continued. Safety Is taught. A stop sip or traffic signal is only as good as its observance. Although it is true that a pedestrian has the legal right of way in a crosswalk, you must make sure the cars have stopped before proceeding to cross the street, whether there is a traffic light of not." If the cars do not stop for you, yeild to them - theyre bigger than you are! Interjected James W. Booth, chief A Near the 8th South and 7th South crossings, there are 20 mile per hour s hool rone" signs which are posted during At school crossing hours other times the speed limit is 40 miles per hour The speed limit at 33rd South , 39th South, and 45th South is 50 miles per hours. Asked if a 20 mile per hour speid sign .uid school rone" could be posted at these locations, Riibert E. Walsh, Utah State. Highway department traffic technician, said ttut are too far these schools away. These signs must be at least 250 feet from the school in order to be posted. J. Edward Johnston, engineer of planning, traffic and transportation, Utah State Department of Highways, said that this may be a rule of thumb for the department, but actually the law reads that the school tone signs must be 'adjacent to the school, with no minimum number of feet specified. Asked If a 20 mile per hour "school tone sign could be Installed at these three locations, Mr. Johnston replied that a 20 mile per hour speed limit Is haxardous in itself. Speed signs have very little impact on actual operating conditions, he said. If you posted a 25 mile per hour sign on the freeway, no one would observe It. If you raised the speed limit to 50 miles per hour down Main Street, people pedestrian. The average daily traffic (ADT) at this intersection in 1964 was 42,248. There were .5 accidents per 100,000 vehicles, making it the 239th in accident rate in the state. At 17th South, during this same time period, there were 64 total accidents and two pedestrians injured.

When Sheriff George Beck-stea- d, Captain Nielsen, and Captain Occie Evans, who is in charge of traffic accident reports, were contacted to see if they had concurred In the decision to not place flashing signs at 33rd South and 7th East, they all did not recall on consulted the being matter. 1 am in favor of flashing lights at any Intersection where it will add to the safety of the school children. Seventh East is definitely dangerous, Captain Nielsen declared. means available Every should be taken for safety. However, it is against the law for the county to put up any signs 00 a state highway, he stated. Mr. Johnston, of the State said Highway department, most of the problems dealing with school crossings and signing having to do with such crossings are prompted and Initiated by the city or county involved, with the same concurrence of this department."
