Mr. James E. St. John
Division Administrator (HDA-FL)
Tallahassee, FL

Thank you for your memorandum of October 3 requesting a revision to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) to include the 360-Degree Warning Light.

The Federal Highway Administration has reviewed the report submitted by Florida Department of Transportation in August 2001. We appreciate the extensive effort that was put into this experimentation and the conclusions reached. We are proposing language addressing 360-Degree Warning Light in our next Notice of Proposed Amendment to the MUTCD which will be published later this year. We look forward to receiving your comments on the proposed text.

Thank you for your interest in the 360- Degree Warning Light. If you need further assistance, please contact Mr. Charlie L. Sears at 202-366-1555.

Sincerely yours,

Shelley J. Row, P.E.
Director, Office of Transportation
