Prince William Parkway speed restriction urged for new elementary school

WOODBRIDGE — School officials want to send a message to drivers on Prince William Parkway: Slow down.

This fall, the new John D. Jenkins Elementary School will open, located near the busy intersection of the parkway and Hillendale Drive, where a Sheetz gas station sits.

In a unanimous vote on Wednesday, the School Board will request the Virginia Department of Transportation and Prince William County transportation officials to install speed limit signs, creating a school speed zone. Drivers would have to travel 35 mph when passing the school weekdays 30 minutes before the school day begins and 30 minutes after school dismisses.
