​"Australian Road Rules"

School Parking

Schools in the City of Onkaparinga Council have received the following information reminding parents and carers of their expectations when parking outside or near to schools during their hours of operation.

"The ‘Australian Road Rules’ give direction on parking restrictions and that which drivers of vehicles are required to comply with.  The rules that are most prevalent to school parking and those which our Community Safety Officers enforce compliance with are as follows:

• Vehicles must  not stop in a NO STOPPING ZONE, even for a few seconds to pick up your child.
• Vehicles may stop in a NO PARKING ZONE for three minutes or less to pick up a child who is waiting nearby. You must not park or leave the vehicle.
• Vehicles must not double park, or stop in the line of traffic, to pick up or drop off a child.
• Vehicles must not stop in a bicycle lane.
• Vehicles must  not stop in a Bus Zone
• Vehicles must not stop within 20 metres before a crossing or 10 metres after a crossing.  
• Vehicles must not stop within 10 metres of an intersection or junction without traffic lights.
