School Travel Ideas guideThis guide offers school communities alternative, sustainable and safe travel solutions for students. With many schools growing in size as our city expands, we are seeing more and more traffic congestion around schools during the peak morning and afternoon periods. Providing parking for every vehicle that needs to access schools is no longer feasible due to the lack of available road space and increasing vehicle demand.Many of the ideas in this guide will not only assist in alleviating the congestion issues within your school zones, they will

also provide opportunities for learning, exercise and encouraging children to be independent and road safe.

No Parking = Drop-off / Pick-up zone 920mm x 610mm corflute sign.

This is an A1 sized sign to inform parents and other road users about the benefits of the No Parking zone. These signs are designed to be attached to the school fence within the No Parking zones around schools. When managed effectively by the school community, No Parking zones can provide a safe and effective way to deliver and pick-up children from school. These will be installed by Council where possible on school fences when ordered.

Please note: Some roads, particularly cul-de-sacs, may not be suitable for large scale passenger drop-off and pick-up. In such cases the length of drop-off and pick-up zones will be limited if they are provided.

Drop-off / Pick-up zone 300mm x 1800mm pole wrap corflute sign for start of No Parking zone.

This brightly coloured pole wrap has been created to educate parents and highlight the beginning of the No Parking zone. It is particularly useful for schools that run organised drop-offs and pick-ups. The pole wrap is three sided (all sides the same) with each side being 300mm in width and 1800mm in height. Council’s road safety officer will install the pole wraps at the requested locations, following a site inspection.Please note: The pole wrap is designed to go around the Council installed metal sign poles at the beginning of the No Parking zone.
