EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The plan for the Coppell Elementary School No. 7 is being con-
sidered for appproval by the City of Coppell Planning and
Zoning Commission and the City Council. The plan will be
considered in March and April of 1993. A traffic study of
the plan and its effects on the area is required. The details
of the study are given in the following pages.
The traffic study includes a review of the proposed site plan
for the school, a review of the local traffic situation, an
analysis of the impact the new school will have on local
traffic, analysis of the need for new traffic signals at the
two intersections most effected by the school, consideration
of pedestrian traffic circulation to and from the school and
recommendations of steps that might be taken to enhance the
smooth operation of both pedestrian and vehicular traffic
around the school.
The results of the study may be summarized as follows:
The proposed plan will provide safe and efficient
access and circulation of both pedestrian and ve-
hicular traffic around the site.
The school will not significantly impact the traffic
flow on either roadways or intersections in the
area.
School bus and staff traffic and parent and visitor
traffic should be encouraged to approach and leave
the school from opposite directions on Heartz Road
to the extent possible.
e
Pedestrian access to the school would be enhanced
by the establishment of designated crossings of
Heartz Road and Parkway Boulevard protected by a
reduced speed limit school zone.
The school will not create the need for traffic sig-
-hals at either the Heartz/Sandy Lake intersection
or the Heartz/Parkway intersection.
e
Traffic circulation on Heartz Road in front of the
school would be enhanced by the establishment of a
parking restriction on the east side of Heartz
Road.
The study does not indicate any significant traffic problems
associated with the development of the new school.

I. SITE PLAN REVIEW
The location of the site for the new school requires
that all access be off of Heartz Road. This 45' B-B
roadway is wide enough to operate with two moving lanes
of traffic in each direction. The site is served by
three driveways off of Heartz Road. The northern most
driveway is 30' wide with 20' radii and is the designated
access way for school buses and the school staff. The
bus circulation aisle is 30' wide and encircles a staff
parking area. The staff parking area is separated from
the bus lane and provides 64 90° parking spaces,
including two handicapped accessible spaces. Pedestrian
walkways are provided in the staff parking area. A
pedestrian walkway is provided in the southern portion
of the staff/bus access area so that students can leave
the buses and proceed directly into the school.
The middle driveway, which is the entrance to the
parent/visitor area, is separated from the staff/bus
entrance by 95'. The parent/visitor access is to
operate one-way in a counter clockwise direction with
flow established by the use of "one way" and "do not
enter" signs at the two driveways. Both drives for the
parent/visitor area are 24' wide and are separated from
each other by over 410'. The southern most driveway is
43' from the sourthern property line for the school
along Heartz Road. The parent/visitor area includes a
parking area which is separated from the one-way circu-
lation aisle. 30 90° parking spaces are provided,
including three handicapped accessible spaces. The
aisle is a constant 24' wide and provides adequate
space for a drop-off and pick-up lane on the right and
a by-pass lane on the left. A continuous sidewalk is
provided along the west side of the circulation aisle
so that students can be safely dropped off or picked up
at any point in all types of weather. A pedestrian
walkway is also provided in the parking area.
Firelight ~ay is the only drive or street that inter-
sec~ts Heartz Road opposite the school. It intersects
the road north of the southern driveway at the parent/
visitor area. Therefore, there will be no traffic
proceeding directly across Heartz Road.
Bus and staff traffic can access the site from the
north to make a right turn into the drive. They can
avoid conflict with most of the parent/visitor traffic
by turning left or north upon exiting and returning to
Parkway Boulevard. The parent/visitor traffic can en-
ter the site from the north by making a right turn into
the entrance driveway. Upon exiting, they can either
make a left turn to Parkway Boulevard or turn right and
go to Sandy Lake Road or other points south. Parents
-1-
Parents or visitors approaching from the south can make
a left turn into the entrance drive and a right turn to
return.
To approach the site from the west, traffic would pro-
ceed east on either Parkway Boulevard or Sandy Lake
Road. From Parkway Boulevard, a right turn onto Heartz
Road is required. From Sandy Lake Road, a left turn
would be made onto Heartz. From the north, access
would be by way of Parkway Boulevard with a right or
left onto Heartz Road. Return would require a left
turn from the exit and a right or left at Parkway.
From the east, ~traffic would proceed west on either
Parkway Boulevard or Sandy Lake Road. From Parkway, a
lef~ turn would be made onto Heartz Road. From Sandy
Lake Road, a right turn at Heartz would bring the
parent or visitor to the school. From the south,
access would be from Sandy Lake Road with a right or
left turn onto Heartz Road. Return would take a right
turn from the school exit and a right or left turn onto
Sandy Lake.
Since this school is planned to serve the area north of
Sandy Lake Road and east of Denton Tap Road, most of
the parent/visitor traffic can be expected to approach
from the east on either Parkway Boulevard or Sandy Lake
Road.
EXISTING AREA TRAFFIC SITUATION
The location of the new elementary school is in the
north central part of the city of Coppell. The area to
the north is planned to be residential up to the Denton
Creek flood plain. Residential subdivisions are how
under construction directly across Heartz Road from the
site, along the south side of Parkway east of Heartz
Road and also on the north side of Parkway Boulevard
east of Denton Tap. Immediately to the north of the
site is a day care center site which extends up to the
Parkway intersection. To the north and west and con-
tig~ous to the site is the City of Coppell City Hall.
To the west is currently undeveloped land which is
planned to be part of a "Town Center" development,
which extends west to Denton Tap Road and extends from
Sandy Lake Road to Parkway Boulevard. Immediately to
the south is a library site and further south a
residential subdivision under construction. The resi-
dential subdivisions and the library can be expected to
be in place when the school opens.
A. Existing Roadways
The significant roadways serving the site are Heartz
Road, Parkway Boulevard, Sandy Lake Road and Denton
-2-
Tap Road.
Heartz Road - This 60' Row, 45' B-B reinforced
concrete roadway is a two lane, undivided col-
lector street according to the CitY of Coppell
Major Thoroughfare plan g'iven in the Roadway
Functional Classifications and Design Standards
for the City of Coppell. It has a "T" intersec-
tion with Parkway Boulevard on the north and
extends south across Sandy Lake Road to a "T"
intersection at its southern end at Bethel
School Road.
Parkway Boulevard - This 90' Row, four lane
divided roadway .is a minor arterial according
to the City of Coppell Major Thoroughfare Plan.
It is the northern most through roadway in the
City of Coppell. It now extends from a "T"
intersection with MacArthur Boulevard on the
east through its intersection with Denton Tap
Road. In the future, it will be extended across
SH 121, which will be the northwestern boundary
of Coppell. Parkway is now a divided road from
Denton Tap to west of Moore Road and four lane
undivided from there to MacArthur. %~ith the
exception of the City Hall and Town Center
sites, Parkway Boulevard has residential de-
velopment along its entire length east of Denton
Tap.
Sandy Lake Road - This two lane, undivided
asphalt roadway is designated as a four lane
divided minor arterial in a six lane Row. It
is one of the two east-west arterials connecting
the City of Coppell to IH 35E and Carrollton to
the east, 'and SH 121 and Tarrant County to the
west. Sandy Lake Road has not been improved to
its planned reinforced concrete structure along
any of its length. In the immediate area of
its intersection with Heartz Road, Sandy Lake
Road is mostly bordered by residential develop-
ment. To the east at its signalized intersection
with Moore Road, there is a strip retail center
on the southeast corner. To the west, its
intersection with Denton Tap is controlled by a
major traffic signal. The Sandy Lake Road/
Denton Tap intersection is bordered on the
southeast, southwest and northwest corners by
retail centers. On the northeast corner is
part of the future Coppell Town Center develop-
ment. Plans for the improvement of Sandy Lake
Road to its design standard are at present
indefinite.
-3-
III.
Denton Tap Road - This 110' Row six lane divided,
reinforced concrete roadway is designated as a
major arterial in the City of Coppell Major
Thoroughfare Plan. It is the major north-south
roadway in the City of Coppell and Connects
with SH 121 and Lewisville on the north and
with IH 635 and Irving on the south. North of
Sandy Lake Road there is little development of
the land along either side of Denton Tap. From
Sandy Lake south there is a significant commer-
cial and residential development along both
sides of Denton Tap.
B. Existing Traffic Control
The existing traffic control in the area of the new
school site consists largely of stop signs and
traffic signals.
Stop signs - The intersection of Parkway Boule-
vard and Heartz Road is controlled by a stop
sign on Heartz Road. The intersection of Sandy
Lake Road and Heartz Road is controlled by stop
signs on Heartz Road north and south of Sandy
Lake Road. Along Heartz Road, the several
intersecting residential street intersections
are controlled by stop signs on the residential
streets.
Traffic signals - The intersections of Denton
Tap and Parkway, as well as Denton Tap and
Sandy Lake Road, are controlled by traffic
responsive, multi-phase traffic signals. The
signals operate independent of each other. Both
signals are equipped with vehicle detection
equipment and provide separate and protected
phases for left turn movements from all direc-
tions. Due to the distance of these signals
from the site and the very small expected
effect of school on traffic to the west, analysis
of the operation of these two existing signals
will not be done as part of this study. ' A
study of the possible need for a signal caused
by the school traffic at the intersections of
Heartz/ Parkway and Heartz/Sandy Lake will be
included later in the analysis.
TRAFFIC IMPACT ON EXISTING ROADS
In order to evaluate the effect that the traffi~ gene-
rated by the new elementary school will have on the
surrounding area, a Traffic Impact Analysis was comp-
leted. The methodology of the analysis involves an
-4-
evaluation of the level of service or level of conges-
tion on the surrounding roadways under existing condi-
tions, and then a similar evaluation with the traffic
generated by the school added to the system. The
expected change' in congestion determines the traffic
impact of the new school.
ae
Roadway Capacity - The amount of traffic that a
roadway is designed to carry is a function of
whether it is one-way or two-way, how many lanes it
has in each direction, if it is divided or undivided,
how many driveways are on it, the spacing and
traffic control of intersections and the type of
area it serves. The roadways effected by the new
school are Parkway, Heartz, and Sandy Lake Road. The
capacities used in this analysis are 41,600 trips
per day for Parkway Boulevard, a 4-lane, divided
minor arterial; 16,600 trips per day for Heartz
Road, a 2-lane, undivided with parking permitted on
both sides; and 18,000 trips per day for Sandy Lake
Road, a 2-lane, undivided major thoroughfare.
Be
Roadway Level of Service - In order to determine
how effectively the roadway system is carrying
traffic, a measure referred to as the Level of
Service has been developed. Level of Service is
used to indicate the effectiveness of operation of
both intersections and roadway links. For roadway
link analysis, the Level of Service is a direct
ratio of the link's daily traffic volume to its
capacity (v/c). Definitions of the various Levels
of Service for roadway links are given in the
following table.
-5-
DEFINITIONS OF LEVELS OF SERVICE FOR ROAD%SAY SEGMENTS
Level of Service
V/C Ratio Ranges Description
A < 0.35
Free flow; low volumes, high speed.
B 0.35-0.49
Stable flow; operating speeds beginning
be restricted.
C 0.50-0.79
Stable flow; speeds and maneuverability
controlled by higher volumes.
D 0.80-0.89
Approaching unstable flow with only
tolerable operating speeds maintained.
E 0.90-1.00
Unstable flow; low operating speeds with
mor~ntary stoppages.
F > 1.00
Forced flow operation; low speeds with
frequent stoppages for short or long
periods of time.
The traffic volumes to be used in the Level of Service
investigation should be those that will be present when
the school opens. A 24-hour, two directional machine
traffic volume count was conducted on Parkwood Boulevard
both east and west of Heartz, Sandy Lake Road east and
west of Heartz Road, and on H~artz Road between Sandy
Lake Road and Parkway Boulevard. The result of count
is fixed in the Appendix. The traffic volumes used
will be a combination of the 24-hour count and the
traffic generated by the surrounding new developments.
At the present time, there are several vacant tracts of
land which can be expected to be developed by the time
the new school opens and its traffic is present. To
the south is the 28,000 square foot library site which
will generate 1,274 trips per day and further, a
residential subdivision called Chaucer Estates with 58
lots generating 580 trips per day. Across Heartz and
extending to Parkway Boulevard is a potion of the Parks
of Coppell with 77 lots generating 770 trips per day.
To the north on the north side of Parkway extruding
from Denton Tap east is the Stonemead residential de-
velopment with 89 lots generating 890 trips per day.
In order to determine the LOS at the time of the opening
of the school and using a worst case scenario, all of
the library and Chaucer Estates traffic will be imposed
on Heartz Road. In addition, 2/3 of the Parks of
Coppell traffic will be imposed on Heartz and 1/3 on
Parkway. All of the Stonemead traffic will be imposed
on Parkway Boulevard. A projection of the Average
Daily Traffic (ADT) volumes on the several roadway
links being considered is given in the following table.

Using the capacity volumes given above for the
various roadways and the traffic volumes given above
at school opening, the Level of Service ~for Parkway
Boulevard, indicated by its v/c ratio, is 4674/
41,600 = .112, or LOS of A, east of Heartz. Uest
of Heartz, it is 5421/41,600 = .304, also LOS of A.
These calculations are using an average daily
traffic volume. The Level of Service for Sandy
Lake Road is 12,224/18,000 = .679, or LOS of C, west
of Heartz. East of Heartz, it is 12,587/18,000
=.699, also LOS of C. The Level of Service on
Heartz between Sandy Lake and Parkway Boulevard is
3242/16,600 = .195 or LOS of A. The small amount of
traffic that the new school will generate will not
significantly effect the Level of Service of any of
the surrounding roadways.
Site Traffic Generation - The amount of traffic
that can be expected to be generated by the
proposed elementary school is calculated using
generation rates from the September 1987 edition of
"Trip Generation", published by the Institute of
Transportation Engineers. Based on the expected
--student population of 600, the daily trip generation
will be 654 trips per day. During the a.m. peak
traffic hour, the generation will be 180 trips.
The distribution of trips inbound vs. outbound
from the site is 60° inbound vs. 40% outbound.
Therefore, the school will generate 108 inbound
trips and 72 outbound trips during the a.m. peak
hour.
-7-
IV.
Since most of the service area of the new school is
to the north of Sandy Lake and east of Denton Tap,
most of the student traffic can be expected to ap-
proach from the east, either on Parkway or Sandy
Lake Road. The peak hour inbound and outbound
traffic percentage assumptions at Parkway and Heartz
and at Heartz and Sandy Lake are shown in the fol-
lowing maps. ~hen leaving the school in the a.m.
peak, 75% or more of the traffic can be expected to
continue to a work destination. Of that work-bound
traffic, 40% will travel south toward Los Colinas/
DF$~, 30% north toward TI/Lewisville, and 30% east
on Sandy Lake toward IH 35/Dallas-Carrollton.
PEDESTRIAN ACCESS TO SCHOOL
Due to the close proximity of the school site to a
number of single family residential developments, a
significant amount of pedestrian activity can be anti-
cipated during good weather. The City of Coppell re-
quires that sidewalks be built along all roadways in
the city. Sidewalks can therefore be expected to be in
place along both sides of Parkway Boulevard east of
Heartz and along the north side west of Heartz. %~alks
will be provided along the school frontage, the library
and Chaucer Estates on the west side of Heartz Road and
along the entire east side of Heartz Road. In addition,
walks will be provided along the frontage of the day
care center proposed to the north of the school when
that facility is built.
The majority of the pedestrian traffic can be expected
to approach the school from the east and will therefore
have to cross Heartz road. The safest crossing arrange-
ment is to provide a designated crossing location with
some sort of traffic control. Pedestrians approaching
from the north and east along Parkway can cross at the
Parkway/Heartz intersection where the stop sign on
Heartz Road will provide gaps in traffic. A large
amount of pedestrians will approach from the south or
directly across from the school. A designated and
protected crossing at Heartz Road immediately in front
of the school would be desirable. The establishment of
a reduced speed school zone with pedestrian protection
along Heartz Road and including the Parkway/Heartz
intersection is indicated.

V. SIGNAL WARRANT INVESTIGATION
A study was done at two intersections in the immediate
area of the new school to determine if the traffic
generated by the school could be expected to create the
need to install traffic signal control. The two inter-
sections studied are Parkway Boulevard at Heartz Road
and Sandy Lake Road at Heartz Road. The methodology
of the study was to do a signal warrant study of each
intersection in conformance with the Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices published by the U.S. Department
of Transportation using existing conditions to determine
whether the traffic generated by the new school will
cause a warrant to be met. A manual traffic count was
done at each of the intersections during both the a.m.
and p.m. peak three hour periods on Wednesday, 17
February 1993, and Thursday, 18 February 1993. The
results of the counts are included in the Appendix. In
order for a traffic signal to be installed, it must
satisfy at least one of the signal warrants. The
warrants are listed below:

Considering the low traffic volume on the roadways
under study, the only warrant having any possiblity of
satisfaction is %11, the "Peak Hour Volume" warrant.
In the case of the Parkway/Heartz intersection, it was
considered to have two lanes per approach on the major
street (Parkway Boulevard) and one lane per approach on
the minor street (Heartz Road) and studied using urban
-9-
VI.
criteria. The traffic volumes were such that less than
25% of the criteria were met using the existing condi-
tions, and considering the a.m. peak hour traffic
generated by the school, it will not raise the volumes
on either Parkway or Heartz to a 'level to meet the
criteria. In the case of the Heartz Road and Sandy
Lake Road intersection, it was considered to have one
lane per approach on both Sandy Lake and Heartz, and
the urban criteria was used. The traffic volume on
Sandy Lake Road is significant for a one lane roadway,
but once again, the volume on Heartz Road from the north
is less than 25% of that needed to justify a signal.
The traffic generated by the school during the a.m. peak
hour will only raise the approach volumes to just less
than 50% of the required levels'to justify a signal.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the investigations reported above, a number of
conclusions can be reached. In addition, several recom-
mendations are indicated.
A. Conclusions
The site plan for the school is well designed
to separate the parent/visitor traffic from the
bus/staff traffic.
The one-way circulation in the parent/visitor
area, sidewalks and wide aisle are well designed
to facilitate safe right side drop-off and pick-
up and smooth left side bypass.
The one-way operation in the parent/visitor area
limits in-bound left turns to a point well
separated from the exiting traffic.
The width of Heartz Road (2 lanes/direction)
will allow bypass of vehicles waiting to turn
left if parking is controlled.
0
The 654 trips per day generated by the site
will have little effect on the Level of Service
of the roadways serving the site.
The site will create pedestrian traffic which
can be safely handled by the sidewalks required
by the city if a protected crossing can be pro-
vided across Heartz Road from the east.
The traffic generate by the site will not create
the need for traffic signals at either the Park-
way/Heartz or the Heartz/Sandy Lake intersection.
-10-
B. Recommendations
School buses and staff should be encouraged to
approach the site from the north and leave to
'the north to avoid a conflict with parents and
visitors.
Parents and visitors leaving the school should
be encouraged to go south on Heartz as much as
practical to avoid the school conflict area.
e
A reduced speed limit school zone with protected
and designated pedestrian crossings across
Heartz to the east in front of the school and
across Parkway should be pursued. The zone
should begin on Heartz south of the school and
include the Heartz/Parkway intersection.
A parking ban along the east side of Heartz
Road from Firelight ~ay northward to cover the
area of the two entrances to the school parking
areas should be pursued so that space will be
available to pass those waiting to make a left
turn into the school.
