Honorable Lee Fellinger, Mayor and
Members of the City Council of
The City of Ames , Iowa
In Re : "Left Turn" Ordinance
Dear Mayor Fellinger and Council Members :
The present Ames municipal code section 33-9008 does not
prescribe a duty on vehicles turning left into alleys ,
driveways and other locations , not at an intersection , to
yield to the oncoming traffic .
Therefore , I have prepared the , enclosed ordinance to
prescribe the same duty on drivers , to yield in turning
left into alleys , driveways , etc . , as they have when
making a left hand turn at traffic intersections .
Respectfully submitted ,
R. Michael Hayes
Assistant City Attorney
