The city of Pearland has announced that a 3-way stop has been implemented on Old Alvin Road at the Cockrell Elementary School driveway, effective immediately.
Northbound and southbound vehicles, as well as vehicles exiting the driveway, must stop before entering this intersection. Please obey all construction zone signs and flaggers.
Traffic between Town Ditch and the school driveway will continue one-way northbound only on the west side of the road. At the driveway, there will be a short transition for northbound traffic from the existing single lane on the west side of the road to two lanes on the east side. Approaching the intersection with McHard, there is one dedicated left-turn lane and one through/right-turn lane.
A single lane of southbound traffic must turn left into the school driveway. Please note that this driveway is for school buses, staff and teachers, and special needs parent drop-off/pick-up only. All others will continue to utilize the entrance on McHard.
This addition to the traffic control plan is intended to improve vehicular and pedestrian safety at the school driveway, and to facilitate traffic flow. Additional Traffic Advisories will be published as warranted to inform the public of new developments on the project, including changes in traffic circulation patterns as the work progresses.
Please be aware of construction equipment and personnel within the work zone. The City urges drivers to exercise extreme caution when driving in this area.
