Dear Mr. Margron:

Thank you for your letter of February 27 which forwarded the revised placement diagram for your experimentation with fluorescent yellow-green pavement markings for school zone crosswalks (7-43(E)). We have reviewed your revised placement diagram and find it acceptable. Your request has been approved.

We appreciate the effort that you and your staff put into developing this evaluation plan. We look forward to the results and the promise of a new traffic control device that may improve the safety of pedestrians at school crossings. If you have any questions, please call Ms. Cherie L. Kittle at 202-366-2188.

Sincerely yours,

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