Dear Mr. Rickman:
Thank you for your letter of July 21 to the Office of Transportation Operations (HOTO-1). In your letter, you requested approval to experiment with two traffic control devices:
For ease of processing, we have separated your request into two responses. This response addresses "Advanced YIELD Pavement Markings."
As you are aware, Requests to Experiment must be in accordance with Section 1A-6 of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. We have reviewed your July 2000 proposal and will approve your Request to Experiment provided it is changed as per comment B.
For reference purposes, we have assigned your request the following official experimentation number and title: "III-101(E)-Advanced YIELD Pavement Markings." Please refer to this number in future correspondence. If you have any question while preparing your revised request to experiment, please call Mr. Harold Lunenfeld at 202-366-6598.
Sincerely yours,
Shelley J. Row, P.E.
