****Traffic Spikes****
|
Greetings,
Our new soccer field and access road comes with speed bumps as well as traffic spikes to control the direction and flow of traffic in parking lots and garages. They are available as in ground units that must be placed in concrete or surface mount units that also double as speed bumps for installation on finished roadways. Chesapeake Lighthouse Foundation (CLF) will be installing traffic spikes at the exit of the school near the soccer field this weekend. It is imperative that families and student drivers follow the established traffic pattern and safety speed limits when in such close proximity to our students. These spikes are scheduled to be installed this weekend.
Additionally, students are not permitted to walk to meet parents in vehicles. Parents are also not permitted to use any alley ways or other short cuts to the dismissal process. All students and care givers are expected to follow the established dismissal procedures. Failure to comply will cause consequences for the student.
