PARKING RESTRICTIONS OUTSIDE SCHOOLS

understanding yellow zigzag markings

Most school entrances and exits in the UK have yellow zigzag road markings with the writing ‘School Keep Clear’.

Zigzags can also be found at entrances and exits of hospitals, fire stations, police stations and ambulance stations. They indicate the part of the road where motorists should not wait, stop, or park a vehicle.

 

Safety tips for parking outside schools

When picking up or dropping off children at schools, you should do the following:

  • Allow yourself plenty of time as the area is likely to be busy.

  • Do not park on yellow zigzag lines and avoid parking opposite them.

  • If you decide to park further away, please be considerate of local residents and avoid blocking driveways or access ways.
