Page 14 The INDEPENDENT, May 3, 2000 Banks planners New license restrictions will affect teenage drivers From page 11 m em bers, no interested citi zens showed up at the meet ing. The text of the proposed Sign Ordinance is available at Banks City Hall. Won also gave a status re port on the Oak Way/Hwy. 47 traffic signal and turn lane proj ects. Problems concerning the coordination of the tw o projects have been resolved, and Won said that C ity Engineer Dale Merrell was hopeful the signal would be installed by July. New laws are making signif icant changes in driver license requirements and restrictions for Oregon teenagers. “The 1999 Legislature passed laws to strengthen li cense requirements and im prove driver training because teens are twice as likely as other drivers to be involved in fatal and injury crashes,” said Lom a Youngs, Deputy Director, Oregon Departm ent of Trans portation, D river and M otor Ve- h id e Services Division. The Com m ission approved two signs at the meeting. Chevron’s petition for a price sign was approved after corpo rate representatives presented photos and diagrams of the sign, as well as where the sign would be positioned on the new station property. The ap proved sign will be on the curb edge of the station property, will be approxim ately 4' x 8’ and will be mounted on a brick column not to exceed 20’ in height. Jim ’s Market received per mission to mount a 30” x 30” il luminated Lottery sign to the right of the Liquor Store sign on the m arket’s canopy. - Certify with parental verifi cation that the teen has at least 50 hours of supervised driving experience experie nce above.
