| 摘要： | The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is currently focusing on these issues through its Precious Cargo Program. Precious Cargo allows TxDOT staff to review school site plans and make recommendations before they are built. Since the program's inception, more than 180 schools in 70 various school districts statewide have seen traffic safety improvements around their schools or future school sites. This report provides an overview of the project activities and findings. In the first year, researchers performed a state-of-the-practice literature review; interviews and surveys with architects, school district personnel, and consulting engineers with considerable experience in school site planning and design; surveys of site review practices of TxDOT and municipal engineers; findings and observations from case studies of 14 school campuses; and a review of existing guidelines. In the second year, the research team conducted field studies at 20 school sites concentrating on operations and conflicts in parent pick-up and drop-off areas. Based on the findings, researchers developed school sites planning and design guidelines for transportation-related elements such as site selection, general site requirements and design, bus operations, parent drop-off/pick-up zones, driveways, turn lanes, signing and marking, parking, and pedestrian and bicycle access. |
