[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not familiar with that area but why are people doing illegal u-turns? There is no way to just drive around the block and get in line at the correct spot?

Also, if the principal has no authority over public roads, just the school property, then she can set up cones to keep you from turning left into the lot. Right across the line between the school and the toad. You can turn..into nowhere. [/quote]
So the illegal uturns are mostly occurring by trapped commuters going east on Kirby.   They unexpectedly encounter the kiss and ride line which is backed up on the road past the local community swimming pool, often past St Dustans church.   Once these commuters realize that the line is not moving at all. And, the parents have no shoulder to get out of the lane of traffic.    Commuters on Kirby start making U-turns fast and furious to go the other direction on Kirby and escape the standstill mess.  However, kirby is a narrow road with no shoulder.   In fact, the shoulder is a dangerous deep gully.   So, there is legitimately no place for the parents to pull their vehicles into that gulley. [/quote]

Don't wait on kirby - you can not block the whole road for 10's of minutes on end WAITING for the kids to get out of school. Pick a side street, wait there. Park a tthe pool parking lot and walk to meet your kids. Stopping all traffic in the lane for everyone behind you is not an option. [/quote]
