I've tried to publish a cache in my small town here, on a 25 mph road (actually Broadway, or the main street of the town) that has regular pedestrians, crosswalks, a sidewalk, law requirements for absolutely stopped traffic when a pedestrian crosses the road....the problem is that the DOT has classified this road as a highway and my publication request has been rejected as a result. I have submitted photos of this "highway" and shown how people are walking here regularly, on the side sidewalk, via crossing lights (two), and crossing areas for peds, etc., and how there are parking spots adjoining the walking area...to no avail. However, I previously published a similar such cache, also in my town, on the same "highway!" Obviously, it was through a different reviewer.
Can anyone assist or advise me on how I can get this cache published? Can I petition the DOT?
