It's nice to see more and more people taking action against car dominance in the UK, it feels like people are starting to take road safety more seriously after years of ignoring it.

That was my exact thought too! There's no way that is safe and what is their job if not looking after local children!

Good for them. I would be out there with a home made spike strip

Maybe I should get some parents together and do this outside my kids' school. There are very clear 'No stopping' yellow zigzags, but people still park up every day to drop off their kids. I've seen quite a few near misses as a result.

Perhaps it would be worth bringing up the issue with the school and the council first to see if anything can be done more legitimately.

There's a link to a road.cc article. Perhaps your Lemmy frontend isn't showing it properly? I can see it on Liftoff

Thanks, I was using another client which didn't show the link or I was just blind
