Text: (1) From the westerly (southbound) lane of Interstate 91, the sign comes into view and may be read, at least by a stopped traveller, at a point on Defendant's Ex. A marked 7. This point is about 915 feet from the sign itself. It remains visible for only about 50 feet southerly, then disappears from view, and again becomes visible and readable from a point about 200 feet north of the point on the highway opposite the sign. This point is also opposite the lane to the exit ramp. It continues readable for about 150 feet, when its angle would begin to obscure it. The sign is thus visible and readable to a traveller proceeding south on Interstate 91 for a total of about 200 feet, interrupted, the first 50 feet of which at interstate speeds, would take only a fraction of a second. (2) From U.S. Route 5, the sign is readable at a point (4 on Defendant's Ex. A) about 485 feet north of the motel entrance, and 625 feet from the sign itself. It remains readable for about 50 feet, then disappears, and becomes readable again 240 feet from the entrance. It remains continuously in view until the entrance is reached. It is thus readable, travelling south, for about 290 feet, interrupted, from a highway having a 40 m. p. h. speed limit, contrasted with the 65 m. p. h. interstate highway speed limit.
