[quote=Anonymous] Here is the latest message from the Chesterbrook principal:
"Reminder Right ONLY
The safety of students is critical. During arrival and dismissal, cars should not try to cut across Kirby making a left turn. Please think about the few minutes you may save and the safety risk you create when you want to turn left. It is not worth it.

Still asking WHY? 
Here are a few reasons that a right hand only turn makes sense.

Driving straight allows the traffic to keep flowing which creates better visibility to walking students and parents.
Left turns back up traffic on Kirby creating visual barriers and increases strain on traffic flow behind you.
Left turns into the parking lot often also block oncoming traffic for through cars, which creates a visual barrier on our crosswalk, making this extremly unsafe for our students.
Patrols will begin this week so hopefully we can unload cars faster which will keep our line moving faster.
Once Kiss N Ride clears and there are no cars making a right into the parking lot, usually after 8:48, feel free to make your left turn. However, arriving this late will mean your child is getting into class late."[/quote]
