A friendly reminder to park safely & considerately when dropping off or picking up your kids at school, including the sports center car park.
Please don’t park on Double Yellow Lines. They are there to ensure the safety of our little ones & give clear lines of sight when crossing roads.
Please leave the designated parking spaces for those who have a Blue Badge.
Don’t take risks when running late, park safely even when time is tight.
Let’s work together to keep our school zone safe for everyone!
TRAVELLING TO SCHOOL
Congestion caused by inconsiderate and inappropriate parking at school travel times continues to present a road safety concern at many schools in East Lothian. We need to work together to make the roads on the journey to school as safe as they can be.
Where not to park:
Near the school entrance
On SCHOOL KEEP CLEAR yellow zigzag lines
On single yellow lines when a restriction is in place
On double yellow lines
Where it will affect junction or forward visibility or make it difficult for others to walk or cross the road
On the footway/pavement
Blue Badge holders etc. are entitled to access disabled parking spaces on school grounds, and congestion caused by inappropriate parking can make access to disabled spaces challenging.
When you choose to leave the car at home, you make the journey to school safer for everyone and bring down emissions. If you can’t leave the car at home, you may need to park a few minutes walk away to help relieve congestion and make sure you are not parked inappropriately.
If you do park inappropriately - as outlined above - you could be issued with a Penalty Charge Notice. If you are parked in a dangerous location, you could receive a Fixed Penalty Notice and 3 points on your licence.
Thank you for your understanding and support,
Richard Kerr – Active Travel Officer – Roads Services – Penston House – East Lothian Council
EAST LOTHIAN COURIER ARTICLE
A new path beside North Berwick Law providing a safer route to school for pupils has opened. We have upgraded the uneven dirt track connecting Haddington Road to Glenburn Road with an asphalt surface.
Connecting the east and west of the town, the path creates a more inclusive and attractive route to Law Primary, the Lochbridge Road Play Area, and North Berwick Sports Centre. It also provides a link between the school and residential areas, supermarkets, the Recreation Park, and the new pump track.
