Traffic Advisory Issued Ahead Of Darien High School Open House

DARIEN, CT — The Darien Police Department has issued a traffic advisory ahead of this week's open house event at Darien High School.

The open house, which traditionally draws a large turnout, is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 21, from 7 p.m., to 9 p.m.

Residents should expect heavy traffic delays and congestion due to the volume of traffic arriving at the DHS campus at the same time.

The following traffic regulations will be put into effect beginning at 6:30 p.m.:

• All traffic will enter the high school grounds via Noroton Avenue. Vehicular traffic will not be permitted to enter the area via High School Lane, Nutmeg Lane, Holly Lane, or Libby Lane. Officers will be present to direct all vehicles to appropriate and designated parking areas.
• All vehicles will be properly parked so as to facilitate and expedite the safe flow of vehicles at the conclusion of the event.
• Vehicles will be parked on both sides of Nutmeg Lane and High School Lane, as needed, facing away from Darien High School.
• Motorists are asked to pay particular attention to posted "No Parking" areas. Previous experiences have resulted in illegally parked vehicles blocking driveways or restricting access to emergency vehicles. Improperly parked vehicles causing restrictions of this type will be towed.
• As on-site parking is limited for an event of this type, all attendees are requested to carpool.
