Presentation: Mike Robinson, Mn/DOT District Traffic <br />Engineer discussed traffic and safety concerns along <br />Highway 5 near CSAH 17 intersection. <br />The Mn/DOT study came up with three options: <br />A school speed zone - which could legally be 20 m.p.h. and only <br />effective during the time children are present. Mn/DOT would have to <br />make an engineering study to deterime what they feel would be a <br />reasonable speed to expect drivers to slow down to. The sign for that <br />would be yellow with SCHOOL in black letters and a normal speed limit <br />sign with the lower speed limit on it, and a sign below that states <br />"When Children are Present". Studies in the early 1970's have <br />indicated that the reduced speed zone will not change driver behavior <br />significantly. <br />Advanced Warning Flasher - There are two types: A flasher attached <br />with the reduced speed limit signor a warning flasher by the <br />pedestrian crosswalk. Basic intent is to draw motorist's attention to <br />the sign control device. The flasher would only be activated during <br />
