Traffic And Parking Advisory Issued For Darien Graduations

DARIEN, CT — The Darien Police Department has issued a parking and traffic advisory for graduation ceremonies scheduled for June 12 and June 13.

The Middlesex Middle School graduation will take place on Wednesday at Darien High School, and the DHS ceremony will be held on Thursday.

Police advise the following traffic regulations, which will be put in place at 4 p.m. on both days for the area surrounding DHS.

• As in previous years, all traffic will enter the high school grounds via Noroton Avenue. Vehicular traffic will not be permitted to enter the area via High School Lane or Nutmeg Lane. Officers will be present to direct all vehicles to appropriate and designated parking areas.
• All vehicles will be properly parked so as to facilitate and expedite the safe flow of vehicles at the conclusion of the graduation ceremonies.
• If needed, vehicles will be parked on both sides of Nutmeg Lane and High School Lane facing away from Darien High School.
• Motorists are asked to pay particular attention to posted "No Parking" areas. Previous experiences have resulted in illegally parked vehicles blocking driveways or restricting access to emergency vehicles. Improperly parked vehicles causing restrictions of this type will be towed.
• Handicap-accessible parking will be located in the lower parking lot near the stadium field. Let a traffic officer know if you need to park there and you will be directed accordingly.
