Little Triangles

School Crossing Markings

As we are doing the deliveries, we see many different versions of the small triangular markings that have started to appear on the roads around schools in the area. Some are adjacent to the gutter, some are almost in the middle of the lane, some are longer lines than others, some are single lines (most are double), some seem to go around intersections (others stop), and other variations.

None of our customers who drive have been able to explain what they are for or what they mean. As drivers licenced for many years, we are at a loss to their meaning or the legal implications! The growing number of different markings and signs around school areas seems to put drivers in a state of doubt rather than make these areas safer for children.

This must be another obvious reason that all drivers should receive information about changes to driving regulations that have happened since their last licence renewal. At least we would all be driving to the same set of rules or a recent version of them!
