Finally!
I’m a teacher and at my school the parking and general driving by parents is fucking awful. Illegal U-turns, parking in bus stops etc.
I think the road that the school is on should be closed for an hour at opening and closing of the school.

Hopefully this trend takes off. Atrocious parking near schools seems to be a nationwide issue.

This sounds like it will open the school up to a lot of legal trouble

We had a police woman attend our school at morning drop off. To try and educate the dumb arses.
Parents were so startled I saw one lady almost kill her kid as she (as usual) stopped in the middle of the road while her daughter went to get out of the car, mum saw the police and started driving off! Kid had one leg on the ground. Fucking idiots!

I sometimes drive our school minibus on trips etc. I absolutely dread coming back near home time as so many people park in the most ridiculous of ways that it makes manoeuvring the minibus safely an absolute ball ache.

I fully agree Police shouldnt get funding from speeding tickets, etc in general as it advocates for over policing and takes attention away from more serious police matters.
That said, I think councils should be able to authorise special operations where police get funded from revenue generated to target one specific problem area in a limited operation.
For example, a day where several police officers are at an underground station for fare evasion, at a major crossroad to catch cyclists going through red lights, or for example this case.
How you word such regulation i dont know however

I live opposite a school and I’ve still yet to understand why parents collectively lose their shit at pickup. We’ve had people driving on the pavement, parking two or even three cars deep, and double parking on either sides of the road so that nobody else can even get down there.
It’s absolutely nuts.

They should do this and they should name and shame their own teachers too!
I live on a road with a school… To beat the restriction cameras / restriction times people come early.
– We have people idling in their cars for 30-40 minutes in the morning.
– They park over drives because they are ‘only going to be a minute’.
– speeding down the road when they are late.
– parking half out into the road.
– parking on zigzags that say do not park.
– Being noisy.
– Not getting out the car they turf their kids out the car and point – as young as 6.
– All of the above is parents and teachers. The exception being when teachers park on your drive they don’t move for the entire day.
Edit: the litter in the area only exists during term times.
