BOARDMAN COMMISSIONER July 6, 2000 Honorable Elizabeth A. Neville Southold Town clerk Town Hail, 53095 Main Road Sonthold, NY 11971 Traffic Sicmai Concerns Route 25 at New Suffolk Road Cutchogue Our Case No. 009172TC Dear Ms. Neville: We have completed our investigation regarding the traffic signal at the subject location. Our investigation included an accident analysis and field observations of the area. Our accident analysis reviewed the most current three years of data available from the Department of Motor Vehicles. Our analysis did not show a pattern of accidents that would be correctable by a change in the traffic control devices. We, also, reviewed the original "Police Accident Report" for the unfortunate fatal incident that occurred at this intersection. First, let me say that we are saddened by this tragic accident; however, this accidem was caused by a number of unique factors that a change in traffic control devices would not have prevented. This report states that the motor vehicle that caused the accident could not stop for a red light due to "bad brakes" for which he was given a summons. Our field observations showed that this traffic signal is equipped with a left mm arrow for westbound Route 25 to New Suffolk Road, a marked crosswalk with pedestrian indications as well as a "No U-Tm" restriction for Route 25 and the appropriate parking restrictions. These tmftic control measures are operating properly and are in good condition at this time. Honorable Elizabeth A. Neville July 6, 2000 Page 2 Therefore, since the findings of our investigation showed all the appropriate traffic controls are in place, no additional safety measures would be appropriate at this time. Thank you for your interest in this traffic safety matter. Very truly yours, THOMAS F. OELERICH, P.E.
