Comments:
I spoke again today by telephone with Mr. Ron Gehrig of the New York State Department of
Transportation regarding the existing welcome signs on Routes 9 and 9D to clarify and confirm his
statements of February 6. He checked again with his superiors and discovered that if the posts are
nominaI4"x4" lumber, then no changes are required to make them "breakaway" posts.
In addition, Mr. Gehrig faxed a copy of NYSDOT Engineering Instruction 97-004 to our office which I
have enclosed for your review. According to this instruction, pressure treated 4"x4"s qualify as
breakaway posts without any further modification. Please disregard the post modifications described in
the previous memorandum dated February 6, 2004.
Please feel free to contact this office if you have any questions or comments regarding this matter.
Thank you.
