Traffic Pattern Near West Orange High School Set To Change

WEST ORANGE, NJ — A new traffic pattern is set to take place near West Orange High School on Monday, April 22, officials said.

According to a news release from the West Orange Public School District, after conducting a study, school officials and the West Orange Police Department determined that in order to maintain safety of students and staff between the hours of 7 and 7:30 a.m., a new traffic pattern is necessary.

Effective April 22, the WOHS campus a.m. traffic pattern will be changed as follows.

Non busing students

Students can only be dropped off in the two designated "drop and go" areas.

• End of Driveway - Conforti Avenue "drop and go"
• Pleasant Valley Way Driveway "drop and go"

West Orange school administrators stated:

“The only entry to the campus from Pleasant Valley Way will be for the designated ‘drop and go.’ Left turns onto Pleasant Valley Way, from the WOHS parking lot, are illegal; therefore, when you are exiting the Pleasant Valley Way drop and go, you must make a right turn onto Pleasant Valley Way. 7 to 7:30 a.m. student drop offs must be at the designated drop and go.”
