DEPA-R9-WNT OF HIGHWAYS,,
. . I
Saint Paul, Minna -
July 262 1626.
TO GOVERNING BODIES OF CITIES AND VILLAGES:
Gentlemen:
.A'considerable number of cities and villages are considering " the install&-
tion of traffic �ontrol devices such as "Stop" and "Go" signals, "Slow signs and
"stop" signs, on streets over which trunk highways are roi.�ted, and on streets �eadinfy
into trunk highways*
As you are probably aware the recent decision of.the Supreme Court of this
State in the case of the Automatic Sip
,mal Advertising Company vs Babcock, holds that
the commissioner of Highways has the regulation and general supervision of the State
Trunk Highways as well within as without the limits of the cities and villages thru
which they extend, This necessitates more clearly defined regulations covering the
placing, of such devices, A -study of this problem is well under way and I hope to
have these regulations in a very definite form In the near future,
Until the regulations are issued which will define the manner in which sucl
devices may be installed, each proposed installation should be taken up with this
office before proceedinge,
The larger cities have found and are finding it necessary to change their
installations of this kind very frequently, and it is evident that what constitutes
the best practise has not as yet been definitely determined, Naturally conditions
vary; this calls for different methods of handling, and I feel that for the present,
at least, no inst�llation should be made except after a direct study and possibly a
detailed analysis of the traffic in each casei-
In a number of case8 which have come to our attention, it has been evident
that a "Stop" and "Go" installktibn was not as yet necessary, and that a simpler in-
stallation would handle the situations
1116
In view of the fact that the installation of "Stop" and "Go" signals
is expensive, this office will not at theLLpresent time approve the installa-
tion of any such c�.ontrol'device during the present year, as it is felt thiit
mcre time is needed to study traffic conditions in our cities and villages -
It is ' self evident that installations in the center of intersections
can only be permitted where the clear widths between the curbs of the inter-
secting streets is" ample, Particularly is this true where left turns are
permitted at the intersection,
In many cases we find that the traffic control problem is very much
complicated by the local parking,repmlations or pract I ise, and it is apparent
that frequently it will be necessary to -change the practise in this regard
before the State Trunk Highway Traffic can be adequately handItedi
Yours very truly,
DFI?ARTMENT 07 HIGHWAYS

CMB:F Commissioner of 1�ighways�
The following copy of communication was read, and on motion by Hicks
second by Postier it was approved and it'was ordered that the same be placed
on file:

MR* H. D. Chard,,
'Diat. Maintenance Engr,,
Minn. Highway Dept.1,
Rochester, Minnesota,
Dear Sir:
In connection with our discussions of prospective rules for
governiAg of trAffic and parking of vehicles on trunk line highways
I beg to call your attention to several items which I believe are
worthy of consideration,
First.* Our city is now widening 2nd St. S.W. from . lSt Ave4 to 3rd
Ave. S.W. from a width of 40 ft. to a width of 70 ft. We are also
widening lst Ave, S.W. from 2nd St. S.W. to 4th-St. S.W. from 40 ft,
to 60 ft. The present width of 40 ft. is more than double the amount
of roddway required to accomodate the needs of traffic,, the remaining
width is for parking of vehicles. Rochester is especially situated
in the matter of automobile traffic for the reason that very many of
our Clinic patients travel from a great distance by automobile and
parking space must be provided,
Second; It would appear that the matter of parking of cars inside
Of City limits should be a matter to be governed by the City and that
the Juriddiction of the State be limited to the width of street which
is required for moving vehicles and which the State constructs and
maintains, I have discussed this phase of the matter with several
well informed citizens and have arrived at the conclusion th�t any
move the State might make to remove parking from streets that have
been constructed or widened with the exprens intent to provide park-
ing space will call forth severe censure*-
4 It should be borne in mind that in out city the paved streets
are paid for by the owners of the abutting property and not by gener-
al taxation, and any move to.restrict the rights of the local citizen
in the, conduct of their business is open argument. (See Boston Tea
Party), I
Third: Should the State Department move to operate over the entire
width of City streets as now improved they should'. I believe, secure
proper ti.tle to the same and reimburse the Cities and Villages to
the amount and value of the improvements provided:by,the Cities and
Villa%es, and assume the cost of maintenance of sich streets and
u
gvenue,rs as are to be taken over by the State Department&
Sincerely,
rHA:MB C. H. Armstrong,,
City Engineer.
