Members of public parking on yellow Zig-Zags outside school
during school times. This has been recognised as an ongoing issue
outside many schools in the local area and has caused alot of
problems during opening hours and closing hours of schools. The
yellow zig-zag lines are put in place to allow a clear line of
sight for drivers and also children during very busy times to
prevent accidents and injuries. Near any yellow zig-zag lines will
be a yellow sign clearly showing the times and the days that the
restrictions are in place, and during these times the lines should
be kept clear. The law does state that the zig-zag lines cannot be
stopped on at any time during the restriction times and dates this
includes to drop off a person or item or pick up for any amount of
time this also includes a vehicle owner of a disabled blue badge.
Failure to follow these restrictions could lead to a fine and
points on your license, but also injury to a member of public using
the pavement or road.

UPDATE APRIL 2012- Ongoing Patrols to monitor situation.
Feedback to next NAP. Local officers are aware of this issue and
are doing regular patrols outside of schools to make members of
public aware of the dangers. This is with parking attendants also
present and are issuing tickets to people not following the
restrictions.
