Show Traffic Lights Dear Editor: I don't know one personally, but traffic traf-fic engineers are truly an amazing lot judging from their actions. Vernal resident expressed interest in and a desire de-sire for additional traffic signals along Main Street. After months of pressure studies were conducted. Sure enough there was justification for new lights at 5th East and at 1st West. They were installed. Now, we're back to square one-perhaps one-perhaps worse off than we were. The semaphore at 1st West serves no purpose in its current, blinking operation than did the simple stop signs which preceded it Traffic wanting to enter or cross Main Street must once again wait for a break in Main Street traffic. Isn't that where we'were before? The signal at 5th East actually does a disservice to people wanting to enter onto or cross Main Street at that intersection At least we used to be able to do so with breaks in Main Street traffic. Now we have to wait for the exceptionally iong l light to change irrespective of M'3 4 Street traffic or the lack of it. ' Traffic light operation and the sip ; timing sequences for these two lip ; were fine for the period immed following their installation. Let's try-again try-again for the traffics sake and to justify11 expense of their installation. DON SMtf V'er' : |
