Question

Read the formal email, and then answer the question. Subject: Traffic Concern Dear Principal Miller, As you know, the main entrance to the high school is on Main Street. This road becomes jammed at the beginning of the school day. The traffic is lined up all the way to the light at Main Street and Blake Lane, and it is a very short light. The green light for traffic turning from Blake Lane to Main Street is especially short. It takes at least 20 minutes just to get through this light. As a result, students are often late getting to their first class in the morning. In addition, drivers are tempted to go through yellow or red lights since so few cars get through. I did some research and found that there have been three accidents in the last month alone. Although these have all been minor collisions, they create major delays and a safety hazard for students trying to get to school. I hope that you will look into these issues before there is a more serious accident. Sincerely, Joanna Mason Senior at Blake High School What is the purpose of this email? to request information about a specific problem to discuss reasons to start school at a later time to introduce a problem with the timing of traffic lights to provide an excuse for why students are often late
