Temples are used only for sacred ordinances that bless individuals and bind families together for eternity. As visible symbols of honor and reverence to God, Latter-day Saint temples are built using the finest craftsmanship and materials available. They are beautifully landscaped and maintained and designed to complement the community. The temple is not designed to accommodate large numbers of people at any one time. Since temple activity is spread out over the day, traffic flow is nominal.
Ample parking is available on site.
During the groundbreaking, open house and dedication, we work closely with our neighbors to minimize the impact of traffic and parking and to ensure them easy access to their homes and businesses. Temples are used only for performing sacred ordinances and not as centers for local congregations or for proselytizing. Reprinted with permission.
