Mornings and afternoons are a busy time when it comes to traffic at school. Access to ISB is restricted to one gate and we understand that comes with some challenges. A recent survey this school year showed we had a daily average of 394 cars, 106 golf carts and 44 motor cycles entering the front gate between the hours of 6:45 – 7:45 am. In the afternoon, between 1:45 – 3:00 pm, we had 182 cars, 77 golf carts, and 11 motorcycles enter the gate. These numbers are excluding the 46 Montri buses and vans that come to campus every morning and anyone entering before or after the surveyed times.
We would like to reduce extended wait times as best we can, while being mindful of the Nichada residents who are not associated with ISB, but are affected as they make their way to work.
In partnership with Nichada, we have designated traffic lanes for the ISB community. Here you will find a map clearly showing the assigned lanes for the roundabout in front of the school, which aims to reduce some of the traffic difficulties.
It is required that the ISB Community members use the right lane to access the school after entering the Nichada main gate. The left lane is designated for non-ISB vehicles so that they may move past the main ISB entrance and through Nichada unrestricted. If you are currently using an Express pass, this only gets you in the left lane at the Nichada gate but you will then need to move to the right lane to access ISB.
We do understand the challenges associated with accessing campus in the morning. We thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we work to maintain a safe environment for all our community stakeholders.
