Dear Mr. Freaman:

Thank you for your letter of May 23 and the copy of
Mr. Thompson's report on pavement markings,

At the present time the Council has a project in hand
to review the recommendations contained in the Markings chapter
of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Canada. The
Chairman for the project is H.K, Walker, P. Eng., Traffic Planning
Department, Department of Highways, Edmonton, Alta,

I have forwarded & copy of ile report to him esking for
the reasons behind tie Manual's recommendad length and spacing
of broken-Jine segments,

I note from the report that the practises in B.C. apparently
do not comply with the recommended Canzdian Standurds, hcwever,
even if they did, they would not include Mr. Thompson's recommendations,

Please convey the Council's thanks to Mr, Thompson for
his interest. Many of our best ideas come from citizens who take the
time and trouble to let us have their thoughts.

. Wither Mr. Walker or I will bo in touch with you when we
have investigated further, A
urs “Pp trily,
lL-ted {
