Dangerous parking outside schools?
Answers:
Easy ! Get rid of the dangerous drivers.
Put up a few sign,or if you're really desperate,fake and accident!
draw yellow boxes on the road by asking permission from the goverment and seek for police traffic help which can really helps
get a group of parents to complain to the school or local authority.
Have a word with your local Plod.See if they will attend for a couple of days or at least park a patrol car near while the officers are grabbing a brew.
traffic wardants from 8-10 and half 2 till half 3 every day the children are in school, and of course double yellows all around it.
How about make the road a one way by the school if anyone parked no one else could get through.
By providing proper adequate parking facilities in these area's as a matter of prevention !!
I think the only way is to have wardens stationed outside the school to ensure no one parks up. Partents dropping their kids ingnore the zig zag markings and selfishly put other kids in danger. Maybe school schemes like walking buses would encourage parents to ditch the cars, the exercise would be great for the kids (and the parents too!)
Ahh, I feel you here. I used to be a teacher and one of my jobs was directing traffic in the morning. Although they had children in the school, I still had idiot parents who would drive 40+ mph through the PARKING LOT. They would park wherever they felt like it, not caring about who they blocked, because they knew the school wouldn't two them. We put more people outside the school and that seemed to help a bit, but you will ALWAYS have these idiots who are too self-centered and just "lost" to even consider being considerate for others.
yeah' school bus like in the states, stop these stupid bloody women in their bloody great jeeps(trying to get one better on the other mothers) driving like they won their licence in a Christmas cracker, from blocking up the roads for everyone between 8.30 and 9, 5 days a week.
stop people dropping kids off there - that'll do it.
Many road near schools are no-go areas because of highly thoughtful parents who have, yet again, not allowed enough time to drop little Jonny off and then get to work.
It seems to be that when you have kids you loose the ability to tell the time or walk.
Harass the traffic police. Get the neighbours to complain.
It worked for our school.
Whatever you do, don't bother confronting the parents yourselves - they'll just abuse you. Get the police to do it.
And encourage parents to attend their nearest school! Part of the problem is that parents see one school as better than another and will drive their children rather than walking to the school on the corner.
The main answer I think is walk the children to school. Most kids live within walking distance from primary schools, therefore it is much better that they walk. Perhaps we wouldn't have so many overweight children if they did a little more.
Parking restrictions - there should be yellow zig zag lines on the road near to the gates. The should then be patrolled by the school caretaker.
Tow the cars.
im a high school senior and i drive to school and getting out of that parking lot in the afternoon is worse/takes longer than sitting in rush hour traffic..i kid you not
Educate the motorists, ie; the parents who drive, of the dangers they are putting children, other pedestrians, motorists, etc and risks to THEIR own children that attend their school.
What was wrong with small local schools, when kids could walk there?
Instead of paying more tax to keep local schools open, parents now have to pay for all the fuel to take the kids to school, and as most of that is fuel-tax, we're back to square one.
The big difference is, the roads are now clogged with mothers driving their offspring to and from school twice a day.
Another ecological triumph!
Name and shame them
Get kids walking to school or using the buses, remind parents that they have legs. In norfolk the schools can draw up a travel plan to try and minimise cars bringing in such things as a walking bus, encouraging cycling to school etc, try the police but as every school seems to have problems i doubt they have the manpower to help, you wont solve this problem why you have ignorant people.
