Therefore, in consideration of <br />volumes of traffic,.the installation of separate left -turn indicatior <br />for State Road 5 traffic at the subject intersection is not warranted <br />at the present time. <br />Accident data for the period from January 1978 to August 1979 wi--, <br />analyzed for the subject intersection. Although several lei7t-tu1-nip,, <br />accidents occurred during 1975, our information i-aciicates that this t: t <br />of collision had virtually coaled during 1979. Therefore, it ap-o.trs <br />that the left -turning accident problem either no longer exist,, <br />very irregular. At any rate, the accident situation JurillE, the ti:•t< <br />period studied, does not 1,Iarrant installation of separate turn: intim::::... . <br />We do recognize that left -turn volumes could increase or the accident <br />problems could stabilize and become 1 serious consideration, Tlirrefore, <br />upon receipt of information indicating problems of this nature, <br />restudy the subject location for the need for separate left -turn <br />indications. <br />Wo Mould like to mention thZ;t during our field rev i"I lir r.kit icc•t1 t,:,;t <br />only one signal head is prosent on both 12tH 4trnot d11•l,ru;:c1le• t,, <br />State Road S.
