Experts are urging parents to ensure they are not left in the dark about school parking laws in order to avoid fines

Parents are being warned they may face hefty fines when dropping their child off at school due to misunderstanding school parking laws.

The multitude of road markings, as well as bans on idling your car outside certain schools, can make navigating school-run parking confusing. Plus, these zig-zag lines serve a crucial purpose. Cars can easily obscure the visibility of young children who are leaving school or need to cross the road. This means kids might not be aware of approaching cars and drivers might not spot them in time, which is highly dangerous.Double yellow lines mean stopping the car and waiting is not permitted at any time unless signs signify otherwise.

According to rule 243, you shouldn’t park in front of or near a school entrance. In addition to this, you shouldn’t park anywhere that would block access to emergency services, at or near a bus stop, or opposite or within 10 metres of a junction, which could all be relevant to the area surrounding a school.
