Newsletter - September Beat Managers Update
Dear all
As school restarts we start to receive a number of calls in
relation to
parking around the location of the school during school drop-off
and
collection times.
Parked vehicles can make it difficult for children to find safe
locations,
with adequate visibility, to cross the road. This increases the
risk of
accident and injury. We understand the pressures many parents
are
under, juggling the school run with other commitments.
Please consider the following when parking your vehicle:
Do not park on the yellow ‘zig-zags’
Do not park in the designated bus stop
Do not obstruct residential driveways or other access to
property
Do not park opposite, or in close proximity to, a junction –
the
Highway code recommends leaving a distance of 32 feet/10
meters
I would hope that drivers will not be asking themselves “Am I
risking a
ticket?”, when the more important question is “Am I risking a
child?”.
