My step son travels safely without these regulations which are before your Board for approval. Requiring audible and tactile warnings at all traffic lights is not an acceptable method for promoting safe pedestrian crossings.

Cars do not obey traffic lights and these signals could hinder safe crossings at these intersections. They will be annoying and subject to vandalism as well. Local governments cannot afford these regulations and the required upkeep for current and future signals.

As a retiree on a fixed income I cannot afford more taxes to be wasted on regulations that are not needed nor effective. Reject these regulations as proposed.

Sincerely,

Betty Lon Winchester
