With students returning to school next week, Lake Macquarie City Council is urging all road users to be vigilant and take extra care when driving and parking within school zones.
Lake Macquarie City Council's Manager Asset Management, Helen Plummer says illegal parking in and around school zones is a major source of road safety complaints, putting the community and children at risk,
"Parents disobeying parking signage is one of our biggest road safety issues around schools with drivers often feeling rushed during busy pick-up and drop-off times which leads to an increased number of parents inadvertently parking illegally."
Council is encouraging road users to give themselves enough time to safetly drop off and pick up children from school and obey all parking signs and speed limtis to protect all pedestrians and avoid unnecesary risks and fines.
