Universal Citation: 2 DE Admin Code 7A.02

Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 3, September 1, 2024

Support:

01 To establish a safer route to and from school for schoolchildren, the application of planning criterion for school walk routes might make it necessary for children to walk an indirect route to an established school crossing located where there is existing traffic control and to avoid the use of a direct crossing where there is no existing traffic control.

Guidance:

02 School walk routes should be planned to take advantage of existing traffic controls.

03 (DE Revision) The following factors should be considered when determining the feasibility of requiring children to walk a longer distance to a crossing with existing traffic control:

A. The availability of adequate sidewalks or other pedestrian walkways to and from the location with existing control,

B. The number of students using the crossing,

C. The age levels of the students using the crossing,

D. The total extra walking distance,

E. The presence of a school crossing guard, and

F. The location of the crossing, avoiding locations where the presence of pedestrians crossing the road is unexpected.
