Recommendation
Engineering staff has reviewed this item to install "Slow Down Autistic Child" on Bair Street in the 300 block. Our research has concluded that a sign that says "Slow Down Autistic Child" is not recommended to be installed and is not indorsed by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Generally, best practices in signing around the country recommend against installing signage of this sort since there is no correlation between their placement and drivers being more alert or slowing down. In follow up from the last Buildings & Grounds meeting, staff has received information from the resident making this request relative to other locations around country that have this type of signing. The information was reviewed briefly but not researched in depth. Staff recommends no action on this item.
