CAR RIDERS
For Car Riders Arrival, Pick Up
General Traffic Safety – Nashville Public Works and MNPD have partnered with Hume-Fogg to set up a SCHOOL ZONE on Broadway in front of Hume-Fogg. The lights will be turned on at 7:30am and run until 8:15am. The SCHOOL ZONE lights will be turned on again at 2:45 pm and run until 3:30 pm.
A cone will be placed at the center line at both the intersection of Broadway and 7th Avenue and the intersection of Broadway and 8thAvenue. Police will often be visible and ticket those who do not slow down and observe the 15 mile per hour speed limit within the school zone. They are doing this as a service to our school and the students and families we serve. They want to make sure our students are safe during drop off and pick up times.
Arrival/Pick Up Procedures – Vehicles are allowed to drop off & pick up their children in front of the building in the passenger loading zone. At no time should anyone stop in moving traffic on Broadway, 7th Avenue or 8th Avenue to drop off or pick up their student(s). DO NOT MAKE A second lane in front of the school. These choices create an extremely unsafe situation – not to mention it is against the law and upsets other downtown commuters.
The area in front of the building on Broadway is marked with signage as a passenger loading zone from 6:30am – 3:30pm M-F school days. Vehicles should be pulled up as far as possible to allow for a manageable forward flow in the traffic with the car line wrapping around the building on 7th avenue. Do not block crosswalk in the process.
REMINDER: We do not have an available visitor parking area, sadly. However, parents who simply need to run in for a short time may obtain a pass from the main office to allow for parking in front of the building in the passenger loading zone. This pass must be placed in the front dash of the vehicle visible to law enforcement. Any car parked in the zone without a pass or after 2:30 is subject to ticketing and/or tow away. Please note that HFA staff is not responsible for any ticketing charges or tow-away charges. The MNPD will enforce the law as is their job. They have agreed to allow us to use these “parking passes” and will look for those in the dash board of cars before they act. Vehicles may NOT block the bay area, however.
Delivery – Delivery trucks have a loading zone off of Broadway. This area may not be used by parents. The area is located in front of the building on Broadway at the 8th avenue end of the sidewalk. Small delivery trucks fitting into the front bay area may back into that area and use it. If the truck sticks out onto the sidewalk or street, causing an unsafe situation by blocking pedestrian walk way or street traffic, the truck is parked illegally and is subject to ticketing by MNPD. Delivery times should be scheduled around school zone flashing times so as NOT to interfere with arrival and dismissal procedures.
Arrival School Zone – 7:30 am – 8:15 am Dismissal School Zone – 2:45 pm – 3:30 pm
