Traffic Management Plan

TEMPLE AND BETHANY TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN 

Keeping Our Children Safe while Reducing Congestion is OUR priority.

Temple Christian College and Bethany Christian School have developed a joint traffic management plan to improve safety and ease congestion during drop-off and pick-up times. Our priority is keeping our children safe while reducing congestion.

Based on traffic surveys, we’ll be using all pick-up/drop-off zones more efficiently and staggering pickup times. Key concerns included: unsafe U-turns, cars entering residential driveways, students crossing busy driveways, and unsafe drop-off areas.

Please refer to the relevant Kiss & Drop family options and traffic flow map provided, to understand how to best use these zones. We appreciate your support as we develop new routines. Please review the plan and discuss with your family so that children clearly understand their new pick-up zones and times.

Together, we can: keep our students safe, reduce congestion and respect our community.
