Green Cone SchemeIndiscriminate and dangerous parking near schools is putting the lives of parents and children at risk, therefore over forty primary schools in Cardiff are now using special Green Cones in the carriageway to prevent motorists from parking on the yellow zig zag lines near the entrance. |
|
|
Special permission has been obtained from the Welsh Assembly Government to place these cones on the road and any motorist who moves a cone may be liable to prosecution. Parking a short distance away from the school removes traffic congestion, provides health benefits and encourages parents to interact with their children on a range of pedestrian safety issues. |
