Now-a-days
finding heavy traffic near schools. In
our area, roads are like a square and the circumference may be about 600 to 700
meters. There are 2 schools here (One is
INTERNATIONAL school) and crossing in morning hours (0715 to 0800 hrs) is a nightmare.
The roads are totally jammed by vehicle used by parent and taxis. Most of them
are using their SUVs to drop their ward even if the distance from home to
school is only 500 meters or so. Everyone become unrest once they let their
child in front of school and try to move further banging horn and scolding
everyone.
Reasons and how can control
Roads are narrow
(even though it is 4 lane road, 2 lanes are used for parking) –
Avoid such parking near school
Using Cars (many
are SUVs) to drop even on normal days
Try not to use big cars
People try to take
U-turn immediately after dropping ward
Should move only in one direction
Though there is
an attendant (may be mother of ward) apart from driver, not allowing child to
get down from car even though their car stands just 2 cars behind the car that
is standing in front of school gate & waiting for their turn to stop the
car just in front of gate (Doesn’t mind how much delay he is causing)
Can attendant take ward to drop at
gate during waiting time.
