Road Safety Operations outside Schools

Road Safety outside Schools

Enfield Road Safety and police Safe Neighbourhood Teams work in partnership with schools, challenging poor driver behaviour and, where appropriate, using pupils to speak to motorists about road safety problems near their school.

Operations normally consist of a small number of Year 6 pupils (maximum number of 10 pupils) and usually take place at the beginning or end of the school day. Some of the issues we challenge are:

Parking on School Keep Clear markings and on the approaches and exits to controlled pedestrian crossings

Other parking offences

Highway obstruction

Drivers stopping in the middle of the road to let their children out

Drivers using mobile phones whilst driving

Excessive speed

Seatbelts and other child car seats not properly fitted

Defective vehicles

Driving without due care
