Evaluation <br />• An engineering study is required by the agency <br />to establish a school speed zone based on <br />guidelines prescribed by MnDOT. <br />• A review of speeds within the study area, <br />pedestrian facilities, and sight lines should also <br />be completed. <br />Things To Be Aware Of <br />• Cost of the study may not be feasible for the <br />district/City <br />• Construction, maintenance and operation costs <br />• "When Children Present" sub -plaques may <br />not be effective. Consider replacing with a <br />sub -plaque that lists the school times or says <br />"When Flashing" and add a flashing light <br />if experiencing compliancy issues for better <br />enforcement. <br />Alternative Implementation Options <br />• More school crossing guards, especially adult <br />guards. <br />• Speed enforcement <br />Education Tools <br />RESOURCES/FOOTNOTES <br />1.
