Traffic Safety Commission probes Data General exit issue
The citys Traffic Safety Commission visited the Data General plant to discuss mid afternoon shift departures on Lafayette Road. Councilman James Splaine said he witnessed three near accidents during the 19 minute clearance period and suggested solutions such as a hand operated traffic light for a period.
