A conceptual design for school site layout displaying a conflict with a mid-block crosswalk and parent drop-off. Areas of concern are the pedestrian driveway conflict and the mid-block crossing, which can be problematic for pedestrian safety because they may create several points of pedestrian/vehicle conflict on the school site. If possible, relocate the crosswalk to a place that allows pedestrians to enter the site with minimum pedestrian/vehicle conflicts.

The California Department of Education will evaluate designs based on the unique site conditions and the educational program of a school.
