A conceptual design for school site layout displaying a solution for a conflict with parent and bus drop-off. Avoid pedestrian crossing driveway whenever possible. Direct pedestrians around the parking and driveway spaces by providing sidewalks. Allow enough space so that cars are not required to back across crosswalks or into traffic lanes. Encourage vehicles to enter the site completely when dropping off to avoid traffic stacking into the street.
