Dear Todd;
Round Rock ISD has no objections to the removal of the school zone at Mesa Park & Wayne. We
support the City's efforts to comply with MUTCD, Section 78.11 which states:
"The reduced speed zone should begin either at a point of 200 ft. from the crosswalk, or from the first
driveway on school property, whichever is encountered first as traffic approaches the school"
Thank you,
Dan Roberts
Executive Director, Long Range Planning and Business Support
Round Rock ISD

DATE: July 1, 2008
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting — July 10, 2008
ITEM: 9D6. Consider an ordinance repealing a 20 MPH school zone on Mesa Park
Drive from 530' north of the centerline of Wayne Drive to 565' south of
the centerline of Wayne Drive. (First Reading)
Department:
Staff Person:
Justification:
Transportation Services
Thomas G. Martin, P.E., Director of Transportation Services
Due to lack of school related pedestrian traffic traveling along Mesa Park Drive, the school zone
is no longer required.
Funding:
Cost: $ 0.00
Source of funds: N/A
Background Information:
Based on information gathered and evaluated by the City of Round Rock and Round Rock
Independent School District, a school zone is no longer required at this location.
As stated in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, the reduced speed zone should
begin either at a point of 200 ft from the crosswalk or from the first driveway on school
property, whichever is encountered first as traffic approaches the school, thus requiring the
City to amend existing speed zones in order to be in compliance.
