Lee Woodard Study

General Observations-Loading Process

 

• Kindergarteners and First Graders came out separately and waited at the playground adjacent to the bay area.
• The rest of the children waited outside the bay area on the sidewalk.
• Cars start lining up ½ hour early.
• Children were escorted by teachers to their cars.
• Approximately forty kids walked over to the day care which was across the street.
• Several children left 15-20 minutes early.
• There was no demarcation for bay areas.  The bay was the sidewalk outside the school.
• Lots of pedestrians crossed through active traffic lanes during the pick-up time.
• Approximately 2 cars loaded at a time.

 

 

General Observations-Queuing Process

 

• Spillage prevented by many cars entering parking instead of the queue.
