Petition to Vernal City Council
School zone signs at Terra
We are asking for clear school zone signs and proper traffic regulations at and around Terra Academy.
Terra Academy is a public school with several kids, 600 or more each year, and there is no busing system. That means many families have to drive, drop off, and pick up children in the same space that already carries normal everyday traffic. Without clear school zone signs, drivers do not have the guidance they need, and the area becomes confusing and dangerous for students, parents, and staff.
Those of us who use this area have seen close calls. We know what it feels like to worry while crossing, turning, or waiting in a place where traffic is not clearly marked or properly managed. A school zone should not feel like a free-for-all. Children should be able to arrive at school safely, and families should not have to face that stress every day.
We ask that clear school zone signs be installed and that traffic regulations be put in place around Terra Academy as soon as possible. This is a basic safety step, and it would make a real difference for everyone who passes through the area. Better markings, clearer driver guidance, and proper traffic control would help protect the school community and make the area safer for all.

My daughters go to this school and the traffic on this road is scary and chaotic. Students and parents on their way to the highschool are flying down this road with no regard to the safety of the children. I’ve seen students who are afraid to cross even in the crosswalk because drivers are not paying attention. The speed is far too high on this road and there’s absolutely no signage to demonstrate to drivers that there is a school located on this street. This is a very serious issue
I have personally witnessed children that have almost been hit in the crosswalk right here, I have called the police and nothing is ever done about it. People speed all the time with no regard to the safety of the children, they are not watching for children. This is an issue that needs immediate attention, especially with the new trail behind the school being put in. The trail will encourage more traffic putting the children at risk further without proper signage.
My children attend Terra and I feel that a school zone is needed to keep everyone safer going to and from the school.
It is kind of scary driving on Aggie Blvd past the school not knowing if a student is going to walk into the road. The speed limit is not posted for a school zone.
My kids go to Terra and am concerned about the safety of kids on this road
Why are the children and Terra not as worthy of a school zone as the kids at the local public schools? Every child deserves to be protected!

Our children go to Terra. We started when the school started. We do not understand why this is such a hard subject. Being a part of Vernal Utah we should be able to have our kids be safe. Every single school in Vernal have these rights. To have posted signs and safe cross walks to be able to keep their kids safe. We are asking for rights that should have been afforded us when the school started. Please help us understand why we have to sign a petition to be able to get this worked out.
