State Denies Traffic Signs Flasher Permit
The Illinois state highway department refused Carbondale city requests to install four traffic warning signs on state highways and to operate a flashing stop sign at Sprinter and West Main streets from 6 AM to 10 PM. The district engineer cited state law assigning sign erection to the Division of Highways and stressed signs must be standard. The department also said the school crossing light should operate only during school hours and not on holidays or weekends. City officials planned to pursue permits anyway and Police Chief Lee Davis urged adjusting the signal timing.
