"As the volume warrants for sienaiization at this intersection fulfill only 44.2% of the warrant for total entering traffic during the peak 8 hours' and 55.6% of the warrant for traffic entering from the minor street, and as there has been but one collision reported at this intersection durinp the last seven- teen months, which accident was of a typc w-iich is generally increased upon the installation of a t-affic signal (a rear-end collision), the Traffic Engineer recommends that the request for a traffic signal at the i-aterjection of Flood and Rosewood be denied.

"On the basis of turning movement counts and other observations at this location, it is recommended that the radiue at the northwest corner of Austin and 18th Streets be increased to a minimum 50t radius to enable southbound trallic on Austin St. to turn right onto 18th St. while remaining in the curb lane, thus allowing northbound traffic on Austin to make a left turn into the westbound center lane on 18th.
