Do youre local traffic wardens avoid ticketing offending vehicles when outside School dropping kids off?

Question

I live next door to a primary school. Every morning there are about 20 4 x 4 's and large cars parked on the yellow line dropping their kids off yet no one seems to get a parking ticket. Conversely the Rugby club is up the road with the same single yellow line yet cars parked there are ticketed? Seems like selective law enforcement to me?

Answer 1

they do at my daughters school the traffic taliban are allways there

Answer 2

No just the opposite up here they book everyone they can. I have seen wardens booking people at 20:00hrs in a side street, they have booked cars for being just over the parking bay lines. Bury Lancashire is the worst place for wardens, the are known as the North West Taliban.

Answer 3

It depends how long the cars are parked outside the Rugby club, assuming they are unattended. I agree it's wrong that parents taking their kids to school parking on the yellow lines are putting other kids at risk - they are irresponsible parents. Yet they are quick to moan when they get run over by other cars.

traffic wardens in my town are so bad they will ticket you whilst you are queueing in traffic but the further out from the city people park on the pavement blocking the way forcing pedestrians to walk in the road some people park on yellow lines right outside schools and nothing gets done try it in the city centre your car will be toed away

Answer 5

What traffic wardens? Where I live, drivers park on pavements and park on yellow lines or wherever they want! I haven't seen a traffic warden for at least 5 years. At nearby schools, parents double park, park on zig zag lines and double yellows and even on road humps - no wonder the kids are getting lazy and fat - their parents won't let them walk anywhere!

Answer 6

Dropping off kids in some areas would not be classed as parking, it could be argued you are making a delivery of the child to school.

Parking up for a couple of hours to watch a game of rugby is a totally different matter

Answer 7

certain. Many guidelines be conscious to both civilians and officials, as this one does. notwithstanding many guidelines are literally not enforced hostile to regulation enforcement officials even as appearing out their responsibilities. i ought to indicate following the parking guidelines and not in any respect nerve-racking about what the officials are doing. If an party occurs the position an officer (warden) is parked illegally for a non-duty correct reason, there's somewhat extra advantage to this. (it truly is like conserving you ought to value ticket police for speeding, even even if it truly is even as responding to a decision) *Haha - I see this isn't a nicely-loved answer - i wager some human beings might want to mature and merely enable those which have responsibilites to fulfill do their jobs and difficulty extra about themselves - makes me chuckle*

Answer 8

our local school is also the same. even the ice cream man gets away with parking on the corner half on and off the path. have you tried complaining to the appropriate authorities? it is hazardous to the kids that walk to school and aren't lucky enough to have an oversized car.

Answer 9

We have a similar thing here. My father spoke to a local policeman about mothers blocking off the view from local junctions while dropping their obese brats off at school. Nothing was ever done about it.

Answer 10

This could be seen as selective law enforcement. Complain to Local Council and they might rectify this problem. Or just contact local councillor-- they will contact you at election time for a vote-- so contact them and they may take action, they want your vote.
