Scary Traffic Cones

[ck1]

Our school has double yellow lines all alone the street which get totally disregarded, parents drive on the pavement and park all along the lines. The school have started putting cones out on the road now and suddenly it's deserted, would you park inbetween traffic cones, they don't bite do they?

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

The police might have put them there.

Traffic cones are a bit more of a physical obstruction, even though they don't bite.

School run Mums are the worse drivers on the face of the Earth. They will do anything to do anything to make sure their poor dear offspring do not have to walk more than 50 yds to school,

Eddie! Mine all walk to school. 45 mins up a steep hill on the way back. Does them good. Lol. The worst drivers are delivery drivers who think parking on double yellow lines and blocking people's driveways are no problem for them.

You should have got out with a camera and taken shots of all the cars parked by stupid parents.

[ummmm]

My sons primary school is in a little cul-de-sac surrounded by flats. One bloke got so annoyed at the parking situation that he got a gun and threatened the parents.

What a lot of parents don't seem to realise is that zig-zag and yellow lines outside schools are put there for the safety of THEIR children, and by parking within the confines of these restricted areas they are not only endangering the safety, and possibly lives, of their offspring, but also that of others too.

I'm just waiting on a new phone then I will do some filming every morning and maybe youtube them, one side of the road is filled with parked cars and the road gets completely blocked so people resort to driving along the pavement to get passed, definitely need naming and shaming! Even so, the same people that drive along the pavement will still not park where the traffic cones are placed!!

I'd be very surprised if any school had time to put cones on the public road. However the council or their subcontractor may have. And jungle tom-toms being what they are, X will have warned Y that the traffic wardens will be blitzing the area on Z day(s) so they will have to stretch their legs for a while.

I reckon if you had a ramp straight into the classroom many would want to park next to the right desk.

While out walking t'other day a mum was attempting to turn right onto a main road out of a tight school gate, unrestrained child in back, while she continued talking on her mobile. What on earth.

ck1, call your local police, every day if necessary, until they put in an appearance.

These drivers, mostly women, seem to take no care about anyone except their little darlings!
