Additional Observations
Administration conducted additional field reviews in October, November, and December to observe traffic behaviour and operations at the school crossing. During these field reviews, drivers' compliance with the crossing guards' direction was generally good. The following feedback was received from the crossing guards:
- When a single guard was placed at the school crossing, visibility of the guard could be an issue if a large vehicle was stopped for the crossing. However, the placement of a second guard at the crossing has addressed this issue.
- Driver behaviour has improved with the installation of the additional signs and pavement markings.
