2 The AASHTO policy statement on marking Interstate highways in urban areas states they should "be carefully marked for the safety and convenience of the travelling public . . . ." We would recommend that the State be given FHWA approval and advised to obtain approval of the AASHTO Executive Committee.

We certainly appreciate the cooperation and participation of the State and the Division Office in the Positive Guidance Demonstration Program. We believe there will be significant improvement in both safety and traffic operations at the I-96-U.S. 131 interchange as a result of the project.
