Proposed Traffic Pattern for Next Year Officer Herbert

• New changes

• • Traffic exiting the campus will be limited to right-hand turns, onto Southbound Pioneer.
  • Parking will be prohibited in the NW corner between MMS and MES. Areas include red painted curbs and the gates.
  • Both parking lots on the NW and NE will be available for parents during afternoon pickup.

• Reasons for New Changes

• Current traffic flow becomes congested at the intersection at Pioneer and the entrance.

• Current parking in the NW corner causes congestions, parking issues and difficulty for faculty to supervise students. 

• Traffic flow will be one direction with the exception of handicap or faculty to decrease the time parents are waiting in the Pick-up / Drop-off Lane.

• Blocking of the left-hand turn lane while exiting will allow an access point for first responders in the event they are required at the school.
