I have been timing our Constitution Road pick up of an afternoon and am thrilled that the area is clear not long after 3:10pm. This is at least a four or five minute reduction in waiting time, which shows that the Lutwyche Road cark park and pick up zone is making somewhat of a difference.

Like many schools situated in residential areas, we do receive much attention at 9am and 3pm. I for one am confident that our community of drivers are doing what is right for the extended neighbourhood and do adhere to traffic rules and parking regulations each day. I have recently watched first-hand how respectful drivers are, and for that I am very grateful.

I do offer one reminder and that is, to not cross the pedestrian crossing with your car unless there is ample space in the pick up line on the other side of the crossing, for you to do so. If your car is hesitating half in the zone, or in any way on the pedestrian crossing, you will be blocking the view of the crossing supervisor who must have a clear view of any oncoming traffic travelling up Constitution Road.
