Now, the question that comes up is well, the RSIS says in the interpretation that if the intersection -- if an intersection has a subconnection or a connection that goes to another street and you put it in you don't have to count the existing traffic. Well, that works fine for small intersections. If you have a cul-de-sac with five or six houses and you add it and make it seven houses, you don't really need any, or eight houses or nine houses, you don't have any problems with one intersection.
