The school drop-off pick-up zone on Lewis Street is a helpful option for many families when it is used correctly. To help drivers comply with the parking conditions of the zone on school days, Council have wrapped additional signs to the parking posts to remind families of the maximum 2-minute stopping time.

Overstaying traffic in the afternoons is preventing the zone to flow safely and impacting access to the pedestrian crossing and intersection.

If children require longer than two minutes to exit the school and buckle themselves securely inside the car, the driver should park elsewhere and enjoy the short walk. Passengers with an accessibility permit have longer. If children are not available when you arrive at the pick-up zone, please return later.

These signs are a road safety initiative to ensure the school zone runs smoothly and safely for everyone.
