TRAFFIC SAFETY RULES - DRIVING, WALKING, BIKING, SKATEBOARDING
As our community grows, our goals are to continue positive safety efforts and to adhere to civic codes. Please review the following safety rules:
BY LAW
Fire lanes MUST BE CLEAR AT ALL TIMES and are not to be used for pick- up or drop-off. This is considered a civil code violation.
BICYCLISTS
▪ Bicyclists must WALK their bikes while on campus.
▪ Bicyclists should not ride on sidewalks, or weave in between cars. Bicycles must be locked up in the designated bike rack areas during the school day.
SKATEBOARDS
▪Skateboards are not to be ridden on campus.
▪ Skateboard racks are available in the bike corral located behind the Career Tech Building (next to Library).
▪ If not utilizing the skateboard rack, skateboards must be kept in student locker all day or may be left in the campus monitors’ office.
REMINDERS
▪ Pedestrians should always use the crosswalk to cross streets and driveways. Wait when the "red hand” signal is flashing.
▪ Students should remove headphones, put away cell phones, and listen and look both ways before crossing streets.
▪ Vehicles should follow all posted traffic rules, including speed limits, no cell phones, and turning prohibitions. Pedestrians ALWAYS have the right of way.
▪ U-turns are illegal on Albion Way. The San Ramon Police Department has assured the school that they will be patrolling this area more heavily as we implement these changes.
▪ Using neighborhood streets as a drop-off point endangers residents and students and is subject to ticketing by the SRPD. Please respect and keep our surrounding neighborhoods safe by adhering to all legal speed limits and driving regulations.
▪ NO PARKING, NO DROP-OFF OR PICK-UP in front of the main gym.
▪ NO DVHS PARKING at Venture School.
▪ Please keep the intersections and roadways on and off campus clear so traffic flows smoothly..
Our main goal is to ensure safe travel for students to school each day whether that be on foot, by car, or via bicycle. THANK YOU for your attention to these details as you visit Dougherty Valley High School. Have a wonderful day and school year!

STUDENT DROP-OFF
STUDENT DROP-OFF
▪ The parking lot under the solar panels is closed to ALL drop-off traffic. Only vehicles displaying a valid parking permit or those individuals needing to park and visit the office will be allowed to enter this area.
▪ Visitor spots are located in the third row of the lot.
▪ If you are dropping off a student and NOT parking, please enter the school at the driveway marked with a "D" in the diagram below. All drop-off traffic will be routed to the drop-off loop, which has been designed to handle a large volume of vehicles in a short amount of time.
▪ Students and others who are parking should enter the school at the signal at the intersection of Albion Way and Arrowfield Way, which is marked with a "P" in the diagram.
▪ Additionally, parents and students should not be using the fire lane alongside the Performing Arts Center. This fire lane is meant for emergency vehicles and staff vehicles to access the rear parking lot. Please refrain from entering the fire lane designated with an "S" in the diagram below.

STUDENT CARPOOL PARKING INFORMATION

STUDENT CARPOOL PARKING INFORMATION
If your student is driving to school, create a carpool to save money on the student parking permit and earn gas money at the same time! A student carpool is defined as 2 or more DVHS students (driven by one of those students) per car coming to school together every day and parking in one of the 12 designated student carpool spaces in the student parking area. Carpool drivers will receive a gas card for participating (while supplies last) and carpool passengers are entered into a quarterly drawing for gift cards. The carpool driver also gets a break on the purchase of a parking permit - $100 for the carpool parking permit vs. $150 for regular student parking permit. This is a first come, first serve opportunity and the carpool parking permit form must be completed and submitted to the DVHS bookkeeper to qualify. Further details are on the parking permit form.
