Parking Outside schools |

Parking outside schoolsAs we approach nicer weather and return from the Easter Holiday, when you drop your children off at school, do not park around the school gates. Safer parking around schools improves the safety of your children and you. How to park safelyYou can help by doing the following: park away from school gates to reduce congestion keep clear of zig zags, school entrances, dropped kerbs, junctions and residents' driveways stop for a school crossing patrol when asked do not park on pavements in a way which stops pedestrians, disabled users or parents with prams/pushchairs from using the pavement do not park on corners - this will make sure our children can see cars and drivers can see our children do not stop on school 'keep clear' markings or safer crossing place do not block a road which could prevent emergency vehicle access do not stop in the middle of the road to drop your child off - this makes it dangerous for children Travel to school a different wayWhy not try walking or cycling to school? It is beneficial for you and your children as it helps to keep them healthy, develops their road safety skills and reduces traffic outside of school at the beginning and end of the school day, which creates a safer and better environment for us all. You could also consider: parking away from school and walking the rest of the way setting up a walking bus with other parents/carers and the school car-sharing using public transport The start and end of the school day can be hectic with the school run, but safety around schools has to come first. We are working with our schools, Humberside Fire and Rescue, East Riding of Yorkshire County Council and their Civil Parking Enforcement Officers to ensure parents and carers think carefully about how to park at school drop off and pick ups.
