About School Walk Routes
School Walk Routes identify routes for students to use on their way to and from school. They were developed through a cooperative effort between the City of Naperville's Department of Transportation and Engineering, representatives from each of Naperville's two school districts and the Naperville Police Department. The city updates the routes as necessary.

Crossing Guards
Adult crossing guards help keep kids safe when crossing major streets identified in the School Walk Route Plan. A few locations throughout the city have School Speed Limit 20 MPH yellow flashers that activate when the guard is on duty. Many of the elementary schools also have volunteer adult traffic safety supervisors. These supervisors are recruited by the individual schools to assist with school safety in front of the school and at nearby crossings. The Naperville Police Department trains volunteer supervisors.
School Traffic Plans
For each elementary and middle school, the Department of Transportation and Engineering has developed detailed traffic plans of reduced school speed limits, parking regulations, bus loading zones, and special parent pick-up and drop-off zones. Each plan strictly eliminates parent parking on the approaches to each crosswalk and school driveway entrances and exits to ensure that the crossing children may be clearly seen.
