| The fact that the Council has raised so much and fined so many from these school streets suggests that the restrictions can’t be that effective or therefore particularly safe. Many of the signs have different fiddly times on them suggesting it needs nearly an hour morning and afternoon for children to safely come and go, which seems excessive. To be practical, a few volunteers with hi-vis jackets and some traffic cones, as in many other countries, would be more effective for the short times needed, or at least paint SCHOOL STREET on the road to draw attention to the scheme. But maybe drawing too much attention to them isn’t what the Councils want! |
