UBJ�CT: Lincoln Street Sign
R0 . Alexander V. Zaleski, Traffic Committee
. Robert Cataldo, Chairman, Board of Selectmen
DATE . October 15, 1970
The wording of the proposed sign at Five Forks has been discussed by
the Traffic Committee and suggestions requested through Mrs. Westerman
from Lincoln St. residents.
The following suggestions were received:
1. GO SLOW, NO HOSPITAL'.
2. PAY HEED, DRIVER. OUR CHILDREN WALK A�iEAD
TO SCHOOL AND TO PLAY. ENDANGER THEM NOT
LEST YOU BE SEVERELY PUNISHED. (with a picture
of Minute-Ma.n pointing finger) .
3. GO SLOW, DEAF CHILD (not true) .
I told Mrs. Westerman that in our opinion the suggestions were com-
pletely unacceptable, but that I'll forward them to you.
Within the Traffic Committee, Chief Corr favors a standard "caution"
sign with a silhouette of a child, while the Town Engineer and myself
prefer a non-standard sign, as on the enclosed sketch. The sign
should be orange-yellow with black lettering to attract attention.
The sign should be used at Five Forks for a trial period and, depend-
ing on public reaction, be either removed or similar signs placed at
other entrances to Lexington from state highways.
