In this case the Unsignalized intersections same criteria as signalized DOT has taken the position that they will not approve a signal until warrants are met for a higher number of vehicles per hour. At this time they have not approved signalization for that intersection.

He did not believe that was in the public interest. Commissioner Bowman felt it would be similar to a rat maze. 29 c___WR 51988 BOOK 71 FACE 458
