Parking outside schools
The Road Safety Team would like to remind all parents and
others who drive children to and from school that is is an offence
to park on the yellow zigzag lines outside school entrances, even
to drop off or pick up children (Highway code paragraph
238). If you are driving children to or from school please
consider the safety of all children and park somewhere legal, away
from the school entrance.
