DALLAS POST, SEPT. 16, 1971
‘Dallas High Schools Adopt
New Traffic Regulations
A new set of traffic regula-
tions for the Dallas Junior and
Senior High Schools has been
issued by Dr. Linford A.
Werkheiser, superintendentmf
Dallas School District.
Persons driving to the senior
high or junior high schools will
find that traffic has been
rerouted during school bus
loading and unloading times.
Traffic in front of the junior
high school will be one way
from Conyngham Aenue to the
tennis court area, and on to the
senior high school from 7:30 to
8:30 each morning and 2:30 to
3:30 each afternoon.
During this time, vehicular
traffic will not be permitted to
travel from the senior high
school parking lot down toward
the tennis courts and the junior
high school.
Student parking will be in the
lot adjacent to the athletic field.
Traffic entering and leaving the
student lot will be by the upper
drive.
Additional stop signs, as well
as signs announcing the 15 mile
per hour speed limit, have been
installed. Other signs have been
posted to provide directions to
motorists that will prevent
traffic snarls and will provide
more safety for students en-
tering or leaving buses.
Dr. Werkheiser said the
traffic flow has been planned
with the motorist, student
pedestrian, and the school buses
in mind. ‘The first days of
operation have seen traffic
moving more freely with less
congestion and time loss for the
motorist and with greatly
improved safety conditions for
everyone, especially for
students,” he stated.
Also, a 10-point policy
governing student drivers at the
senior high school was released
during the first week of school.
They are as follows:
Students are expected: to
abide by all driving regulations
established by the vehicle code
of Pennsylvania; students must
make application for driving
permits from the principal or
assistant principal, on forms
provided by the school; parents
must sign the application, and
this in turn must be approved by
one of the principals; students
may ride with a pupil who has
obtained a driving permit only
if parents of both pupils in-
volved have signed a permis-
sion form indicating approval;
no driver shall exceed a speed
of 15 miles per hour while on
school grounds; students must
park cars on parking lot on east
side of building; student drivers
are not to interfere with the safe
movement of buses entering or
leaving grounds; no smoking or
eating is permitted in parked
cars on the parking lot;
students are not permitted to
leave parking areas in their
cars during school hours
without proper authorization;
student drivers will adhere to
all traffic regulations
established to insure safety for
all students on school grounds.
The Dallas School District
insists that the enforcement of
these rules be strictly adhered
to and any violation thereof, in
