Arrival / Departure

Below is a list of best practices when renovating campuses to improve drop-off, pick-up and parking keeping pedestrians safe:

• Include at least one designated student drop-off and pick-up area with a passing lane, no shorter than 200 feet in length clearly labeled with appropriate curb striping, pavement markings, and signage
• Separate parking, drop-off / pick-up, bus loading areas, and parking areas to ensure the safety of students entering and exiting the school
• The design of pedestrian areas should be more developed in targeted areas, such as drop-off locations and waiting areas where students can gather before class begins
• Provide enough parking spaces for staff and visitors:  a minimum of 2.25 parking stalls per teaching station, and accessible spaces to meet ADA code
• Reducing pedestrian and vehicular crossing
• Use appropriate barriers
• Clearly mark pedestrian walking zones and vehicular driving zones
• Speed bumps are recommended for moderating vehicular speed in drop-off and parking areas to further protect pedestrians
