St. MARKS
1-12 / Dallas, Texas DeShazo Group, Inc., provided a traffic management plan for the St. Marks School of Texas, a 900-student nonsectarian preparatory day school for boys school. Located at 10600 Preston Rd., Dallas, TX. 75230. A school TMP is important to safely achieve an optimum level of traffic flow and circulation during peak traffic periods associated with student drop-off and pick-up operations. By properly managing the vehicular traffic generated during critical periods, the safety and efficiency of school carpool operations will also inherently improve. This TMP should not be considered a comprehensive set of instructions to ensure adequate safety; however, it is a tool that aims to facilitate a safer and more efficient environment. DeShazo Group's study examined the drop-off and pick-up procedures, personnel assistance, and locations for each grade level; the ingress and egress points to the campus; on-site circulation patterns; queue lengths on- and potentially off-site, etc. Several recommendations were made to modify the traffic flow patterns to various roadways both on- and off-site as well as implementing additional signage. The TMP will be reviewed on a regular basis to confirm its effectiveness and compliance as well as investigate the potential for improvements. |
