New Traffic Pattern Near West Plains High School


Posted Date: 08/07/2024

Attention Canyon ISD Community,

Starting today, August 7, 2024 a new traffic pattern will be in effect at the intersection of Arden Road and State Loop (SL) 335 near West Plains High School. This change, implemented by TxDOT, aims to increase safety and maintain mobility at this busy intersection.

Key Changes:

  • Drivers going to West Plains High School from Arden Road must turn right onto northbound SL 335 and take the turnaround at Hillside Road. They will then head southbound on SL 335 and turn right onto Arden Road to reach the school.

  • Traffic exiting West Plains High School will turn right onto southbound SL 335.

  • Message boards and traffic signs will be placed to guide drivers through the new pattern.

TxDOT will monitor this new pattern over the next few weeks and collaborate with the City of Amarillo and Canyon ISD to make any necessary adjustments.

Safety Reminders:

  • Stay alert and avoid using handheld devices in school zones.

  • Yield to pedestrians and bicyclists in crosswalks.

  • Obey school zone speed limits.

  • Drop off and pick up children in designated areas.

  • Watch for children at bus stops and crossing streets.

  • Follow and stop for school buses when necessary.

Your cooperation and attention to these changes will help ensure the safety of our students and community. 

Thank you for your understanding and support.
