Dear Mr. Manthos:

Thank you for your letter of January 25 to Federal Highway Administration Hawaii Division Administrator Abraham Wong and your February 17 fax clarifying your request to experiment with in-roadway warning lights at crosswalks.

We have reviewed the material that was submitted and find it to be suitable in support of your request to experiment. Therefore, your request to experiment under the provisions of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices with in-roadway warning lights at crosswalks is hereby approved.

We look forward to reviewing your first semi-annual progress report this fall. If we can be of further assistance, please contact Ms. Louisa M. Ward on 202-366-4372.

Sincerely yours,

Jeffrey A. Lindley
Acting Director, Office of Transportation Operations
