School Entrances (Markings)

HC Deb 23 May 1977 vol 932 cc350-1W

Mr. Jessel

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what is the law relating to white zigzag lines along the sides of roads outside school entrances.

Mr. Horam

These markings are advisory traffic signs. They are used, with the words SCHOOL—KEEP CLEAR, to discourage drivers from waiting when children are going to and from school. Advisory zigzag lines laid during the last two years should be yellow in colour, in accordance with the Traffic Signs Regulations 1975.
