Parking lots can be the most dangerous part of a school. Children run to their busses to get home, parents try to get to the pickup zone as quickly as possible, and bus drivers try and maneuver around it all. One way to bring order to your school’s parking lot is through signs. You can use signs to remind students to be safe around vehicles, to tell parents drive safely, and to designate pick up areas.
Signs are a great tool to get people to follow the rules. When a student sees a bright sign telling them where to walk they will likely follow where the sign tells them to go. Clearly marking crossing areas with bright signs will tell students where it is safe to cross and will also alert drivers that they need to drive more cautiously. They may already be adults, but parents also need to be reminded to conduct themselves responsibly in parking lots around children. Putting up signs enforcing a speed limit is a good way to make sure people drive safely. Marking areas where vehicles are prohibited with signs can make sure drivers aren’t in areas where there is a larger risk for students to get injured. When you use signage to direct both pedestrians and drivers, your parking lot becomes more organized and generally safer for everyone.
