A beautiful start to the school year
A beautiful summers day, for the first day of the 2023 school year.
Take care out there, everyone. And drivers, stay OFF your phones, even if you aren’t moving. If you are on the road it is illegal, dangerous and stupid to be on your phone.
If you must still use them, learn how to do it handsfree. My kid can. Why can’t you?
And you really don’t need to drive all the way to the school gates to drop them off and pick them up.
If they can manage manouvering around the school, like Olympian’s, during the day, they can manage manoeuvring to the car, a street or 2 away.
Don’t park in the bus stops. Every school week, every year, outside every school, people park in the bus stops. The sections of Guthrie Rd, either side of Nimon St, are BUS STOPS, between 2.45 and 3.30pm. DO NOT PARK IN THEM! No, you won’t be just a couple of minutes. Yes, it is a HUGE problem. Don’t do it. Outside any school.
If you don’t want to sit in traffic for an hour, waiting for your precious cargo, park further away. I leave to pick mine up at 3pm. When his school finishes. I’m home by 3.15pm. And there are 3 schools in the one block. 2 with entrances right next to each other, in a cul de sac with access to the third.
I park 2 streets away. And the same cars are still sitting there, when I leave, as when I arrived, and they are no closer to the school.
Stop BEING the traffic you are so worried about.
