As part of its ongoing efforts to improve pedestrian safety, the City of Oceanside installed a new crosswalk at the intersection at Avenida Del Oro & Calle Platino.
Members of our community are strongly encouraged to follow basic safe practices:
• Drivers should be on the lookout for and stop for pedestrians.
• Drivers should stop for pedestrians in a crosswalk and stay stopped until the pedestrian is two traffic lanes away or has reached the sidewalk.
• Pedestrians should use a crosswalk when crossing the street and obey pedestrian signals.
• Pedestrians should look both ways for traffic before crossing and ensure cars are yielding before crossing. Remember that having the right-of-way does not prevent you from being seriously injured by a driver who is not paying attention. Traffic safety is everyone's personal responsibility.
• Pedestrians should wear bright-colored, reflective clothing and use a flashlight when walking during hours of darkness. Be visible!
Coastal Academy is committed to doing our part to keep the community safe. We urge every member of the community to help by keeping themselves safe and following basic rules of the road.
PARKING UPDATE - please be aware!
Parking is always a challenge at Coastal Academy. We have received news that two of the neighboring businesses that previously allowed us to park in their lots - Hobie and Plumb Master - have revoked this privilege and informed us they will tow unauthorized vehicles.
If you need to park, please see the attached diagram of where it is allowed. There is no backing out of parking spaces allowed between 7:45 and 8:05 AM.
Please keep in mind that parking at the school is limited, especially during pick-up and drop-off, which are our busiest times of the day.
We ask for your patience and understanding as we adjust to this new challenge. We will be in touch if we can come up with any new solutions.
Thank you for your cooperation!
Dear Coastal Families,
We have been informed that there will be the towing of vehicles from the lot to the left of Coastal Academy. Parking in this lot is not permitted. Please be advised that if you do park over in that lot, you are at risk of being towed.
Please utilize the drop-off and pick-up loop.
Thank you for your understanding!
