Regardless, there is no law in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices that says you can't have a signal within 1000 feet of another signal. And certainly can coordinate signals and there are multiple times that we built signals closer with much closer offsets. What Mr. Litwornia was reporting to in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices is one of the causes that we use as traffic engineers to determine if a signal should be implemented and in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices there are a series of criteria called warrants and there's specifically different criteria in warrants that traffic engineers use to determine if a signal should be considered and/or is appropriate to be installed. The majority of the warrants that we use as traffic engineers are actually the first four warrants. They are basically volume based warrants. There's an eight-hour warrant, you meet certain criteria eight-hours a day. There's a four-hour warrant, you meet criteria four-hours of the day. There's a peak hour warrant, that's usually used for unique situations like a manufacturing facility letting out a bunch of people at a time. As documented in the traffic study, we meet the volume warrants. The
