No Parking Sign In School

Credits : STOMP





The above photos show the lorry YJ5115X parked at the No Parking site at East Spring Primary School today.

This is not the first time that delivery vehicles are parked in front of the No Parking sign at East Spring Primary School. The purpose of the No Parking sign is to ensure the safety of students as there might be students standing at the stairways or near the railings.

The Operation Manager and Security Guard are told of regarding those drivers that parked their vehicles there. All they did was just to ask them to remove their vehicles. When no one raise the issue of No Parking there, the drivers are left to park there just like the attached photos. The security guard post and the General Office are just near by to this No Parking site and yet no one seems to bother.
Even teachers walking past don't seem to do anything about it.

I wonder how safe are our students in school. Must we wait till accidents occurred before we take precautions? In fact, there was once a delivery truck almost hit a student while reversing to park his vehicle there for unloading and in another instance, one van almost hit another parent who was standing at the railing.

Will the school authority kindly comment and ensure that safety is observed at all times. Are there appropriate Loading and Unloading Bays in school? Why ain't these drivers informed of where to park by the security guards when they enter the school?
