Even though this makes perfect sense I’d say it caused war.
Great idea. Just another 3996 schools to go then.
Get them walking again, you know, like most of us did. Good for health. Usually
Normalise not wrapping your kid up in bubble wrap.
Well what am I supposed to do now, park my Santa Fe near the barriers and walk Donncha to school myself? What if it’s raining!
This is already being done in Malahide, Oliver plunketts national school
I know one couple beside us who drive 800 meters ( I measured it on google maps) to drop and pick up kids at school. With shortcuts you can get there in 5 minutes on foot. and not have to dick around looking for a parking spot or as in most cases park illegally and block up the place so busses can get through.
So many wouldn’t walk to warm themselves, I get if you have circumstances that might require you to drive that distance but most don’t.
There are so many more schools that should be implementing it. It will hopefully also encourage people to send their children to school in their local area and avoid oversubscription in some areas.
It’s a certain type that will stop traffic so their little angles can get out at the school gate.
Thank you Jesus. Parents are the worse road users
In the absence of other measures that actually _encourage_ modes other than driving, doesn’t this just push the problem from the school gates to wherever the bollards are.
>Newbrook Road is a residential street and a cul de sac. There are 1,000 students in the primary and secondary schools located there
You’d think someone might have considered this when approving planning for the school. I’m not sure who it would be. Maybe I don’t know the council planners?
50% drive less than 1km
Good. My local area is clogged with people driving their fat children right to the school door or parking like arseholes all over the place.
The greatest pleasure I have in life at this minute and time is being able to walk my daughter to school every day and I’ll according to a quick AI assisted bit of math only have 285 more journeys before she’s too cool to be walked to school and it ceases
