Subject: Slop Sign By-inw — Canso Drivc at Acom Lnnc Pngc 2 ���
Thc potcntiul far contlicts nt this inlersection is low, howevcr, the un•posled right•of-wny ndc
rcmnins thc lowest form of trnflic conlrol. Many motorists commonly do not ohscrve Ihc right-
of•way n�le which U�ereby creates a potentiul for conllict and vehicle collisions. It is
rccommended that a slop sign bc postcd southbound on Canso Urivc at its inlersection with
Acom Lanc.
