[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Missed the change in drop off -- what is it?
[/quote]

They did a tiny bit of construction and have cones in place to form two entry lines rather than one.  I think they also opened the parking lot near the stadium for drop off. (?? I've never tried that, but they indicated as much in the back-to-school letter??)[/quote]

Traffic is much more backed up on the side streets in the morning than it used to be.  The original traffic loop designed was flawed and the flow stops to a standstill because there is not a 4 way stop at the exit so no one can leave the loop.

In the afternoon, I have seen children driving out of the lot in the wrong direction.  It is only a matter of time before a student has a head on collision or heaven forbid, strikes a pedestrian because he/she is not obeying the new traffic patterns.  Perhaps the Principal or Assistant Principal can stop this behavior by withdrawing parking passes from Seniors who cannot use the proper exit for the lot.

Finally, it never made any sense for the drop off and pick up loop to be in the Senior Parking Lot.  There is a lot less traffic flow in the faculty parking lot.  Perhaps switch the Faculty and Senior lots around so parents could drop off and pick up in a lot where the faculty cars are just parked, not Senior cars coming and going.  The change would distribute the flow of traffic better.[/quote]

I agree that the main problem with the traffic flow is the exit.  Not only slows traffic, but is dangerous for either driving straight or turning left out of the lot because of poor visibility.  (And turning right is terribly backed up.)[/quote]
