speleo1   10 #14 Posted January 11, 2020 Well we had this at walkley school Police children and teachers was outside school for a week telling parents with cars to switch of engines and park sensible, All went ok a few disgruntled parents but went down well for a week, Soon after the week was up and the police etc was not there,all was back to normal parking we're they wanted double yellow lines and all, They did get a sign put up about switching off engines though,but it is cold for the parents sat in their cars in their PJ's this time of year.

sheffieldman64   0 #15 Posted January 11, 2020 Total bug bearer when people park stupidly outside schools, specially when there are restrictions in place for a reason. Think the drivers that do must have got there licences out of lucky bags because not only are they putting themselves at risk they are also putting other people and children at risk.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

That’s the real issue to sort before having a go at people trying to earn a living.  Just as long as you aren't inconvenienced in the slightest then I'm sure all will be OK. Just keep pumping them exhaust fumes.  There's a bus every 10 mins from Dore to town btw. Catch it myself quite often in a morning . It drives past all the stationary traffic on Ecclesall Road, so I'm doubting your claims about being quicker by car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

There’s meant to be one every 20 mins but quite often you can be waiting upto an hour - not really practical for anyone with any sort of responsibilities is it? Also you don’t calculate waiting time at the bus stop in your point above or getting from the nearest bus stop to her office so no need to doubt my claims it takes longer by bus because it does. As for pumping fumes she’s got a Tesla so that points not really relevant either is it . By the way it’s ‘those’ fumes not ‘them’. I’m all for a discussion about how to make things better but I usually find those preaching to others about what to do ref: transport into town are usually (but not always) the people for whom it is easy to do, either because of where they live, proximity to a transport network, lack of a job or have one with flexibility in working hours (usually public sector). Once you ask them to put themselves in others positions, i.e what if they had to move house, change jobs or spend more money they usually go quiet.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

jaffa1   10 #20 Posted January 11, 2020 I know a granny who use to pick her grandchildren up and very aware that running the engine created fumes and also ran the petrol gauge down she use to fill a hot water bottle before she set off and sit with it on her lap. The young uns wouldn't think that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Mobile phone law considers it as part of 'driving whilst using mobile device. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The electricity used to charge your Tesla, how's that generated? You have arranged your life - where you live and work - and make zero allowances for it. Thanks for pointing out the deliberate spelling mistake. I would pull apart your grammatical errors but that would be a bit childish. Edited January 12, 2020 by Bargepole23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

FORE   12 #24 Posted January 12, 2020 same problems at Shooter's Grove.  parked above Wood Lane's 'Lollypop Man' sometimes on 'zig-zags' or double yellows - engines running, half on pavement, playing on telephones.  Apparently the only ticket issued recently was on guy in a Morrison's delivery van encroaching into bus stop.
