Chenoweth, safety director, Ramsey County, can find no objection to the installation of the flashing yellow lights because they indicate caution only and have nothing to do vrith the control of movement as faF as a signal is concerned. They reco~?merd lights be placed on mast-arm type brackets that would extend over the roadway from either side of the road.
