On the same subject does asnyone know the legal position of the yellow zig zags outside schools.
At the beginning of each term I have to drop leaflets off at schools. Most often by bike, sometimes by small van. This means stopping for about 2 mins outside about 80 schools in a day. I do stop on the zig zag lines sometimes. My reasoning is that once the children are safely in classes and the schools have security gates which means children can't just run out, then I'm not causing a danger.

A parent picks up a kid early or drops em off late....you are creating a danger at the crossing whichever way you look at it. Dont risk causing an accident....that part of the road is not for your convienence...park else were or get another job

Ha! I live next to a school, we have yellow zigzag lines outside our house, of course all the parents park on them, and park over our drive when its dropping off / collection time. They park on them, and then walk into the school.
Several times, both my family and myself have had arguements with people parked over our driveway (with zigzag lines outside of it!) blocking our access. Selfish sods the lot of em.
