2008 Traffic Project

The Year 5 Gate group is working with an engineer to solve the problem Sunnybrae Normal School has with traffic at their front gate.During week 8 students observed some of the problems experienced and found that:

1. Parents were using the driveway to drop off their children.
2. There is construction going on at the school and pedestrians have to use the driveway as well.
3. Cars are coming into the driveway
and parking across the entrance to drop off their children.
4. Parent cars are then reversing into the main road traffic.
5. Cars are going through orange and red lights.
6. Pedestrians are not using the crossing.
7. There is a bus stop opposite the school and when buses are there cars use the median strip on the road.
8. Parents are using the shopping center carpark to deliver their children to school.
9. Parents are stopping on yellow lines to let their children out of the car.
