    U.S.Department of Transportation 400 Seventh St., S.W. Washington, D.C. 20590 Federal Highway Administration May 25, 2004 Refer to: HOTO-I Mr. Mark C. Jewell 148 Bemon Street#2 Woonsocket,RI 02895 DearMr. Jewell: Thank you for your May 7 letter to the Federal Highway Administration's Associate Administrator for Operations, Jeffrey F. Paniati, concerning the safety and operations of shared-usepaths in Rhode Island (RI). Mr. Paniati has asked me to reply to your letter. We understand and share your concerns related to the RI State policy that requires pedestrians to "walk on left, facing bicycles." This requirement is potentially very confusing to pedestrians becauseit is different from the behavior that is expected of them on shared-usepaths in other States. The Manual on Unifonn Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) is the national standard for the design and application of all traffic control devices, including regulatory signs and pavement markings. However, the MUTCD does not govern the States and local jurisdictions in their authority to enact laws, regulations, and policies to regulate the use of roads and paths under their jurisdiction by pedestrians and other users. While we cannot require changes in RI State laws or regulations, we welcome the decision of the RI Department of Transportation to review their policy and consider changing it. We believe that the safety and convenience of all path users in RI would be best served by having the paths regulated in the same manner as other States, particularly the adjoining States. The pavement markings on 1he path shown on the photos you sent appear to be particularly confusing and they do not confonn to the MUTCD standards.

Head north and you’ll be heading towards Rumstick Point l2 and the entrance to the Warren River l3 about 2 miles to the north. Once on the water there is little Narragansett shelter so if the wind kicks up you should be prepared for Bay waves. This area in particular has a tendancy to be windy and rough. On most days the southwest wind fills in strongly in this 0.5 area in the morning and blows throughout the afternoon, producing significant waves, so be prepared for this when planning your trip.
