Implement Pick-up and Drop-off Zones

Description

  • Designated pick-up and drop-off zones enable convenient locations for passenger loading and requires special consideration to manage potential conflicts between vehicle and pedestrian movements.

Guidance

  • Provide on-site pick-up and drop-off zones that are fully accessible at-grade to facilitate short-term pick-up and drop-off activities.
  • Provide adequate space so queueing will not spillback onto driveways or public roads or disrupt traffic flow on site.
  • Use design interventions (e.g. curbs, islands), pavement markings and textures to delineate pedestrian facilities and pick-up and drop-off zones.
  • Where possible, passenger pick-up and drop-off zones and loading zones should not conflict with pedestrian facilities by locating the zones at an alternate accessible building entrance.

Development Review

  • The applicant shall submit a site plan, site plan drawing, concept plan, pavement marking & signage plan, or other applicable document that shows the location, design, pavement markings, and dimensions of pick-up and drop-off and loading zones.
  • The applicant shall submit a swept path diagram to ensure that vehicle circulation is not interrupted.
  • City of Vaughan staff shall review the memorandum and plans and provide a recommendation for either approval or modifications to meet City requirements.

Monitoring and Reporting

  • Submit photo evidence of the pick-up and drop-off zones.
