The Chatham County‐Savannah Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC) wishes to provide state‐of‐
the‐practice guidance for school zone crossing treatments throughout the Chatham County‐Savannah
region. This report has been developed in response to concerns brought before the Chatham County
Commission about a particular school crossing on Montgomery Cross Road at St. James Catholic School.
With the understanding that other school crossing locations in the county may also need safety
enhancements as traffic has increased over the years, the MPC is providing in this report crossing
templates in addition to recommendations for the St. James Catholic School location.
