When parents are dropping off or picking up students at Nottingham Elementary School, traffic congestion on Little Falls Road is a concern for many residents and parents. Some drivers disregard current school zone signs and exceed the 25 mph speed limit, the roadway is narrow, and there are no curbs, sidewalks or parking lanes on the north side of the street.

There is another school zone on Sycamore Street. This serves students attending Tuckahoe Elementary School and Bishop O'Connell High School. Speeding traffic is also a problem at this location.

Recommendations

18. Evaluate existing school zone signs on the approaches to Nottingham Elementary School, Tuckahoe Elementary School and Bishop O'Connell High School and replace them if more effective signs are available.

19. Increase police surveillance and enforcement of the 25 mph speed limit when children are going to and from school.
