　　Do you drive your children to school?

　　Every year，hundreds of children are killed or injured trying to get to and from their school．Many are subjected to unnecessary hazards(碰巧)by inconsiderate(淡漠的)parents who stop their cars outside school entrances to set down or pick up passengers．

　　In an attempt to ensure that children can cross the road to and from their school safely，SCHOOL KEEP CLEAR markings are placed on the road surface outside the school entrance．These markings not only highlight the school entrance to other road users，but also indicate an area that should be kept clear of stationary vehicles．This allows approaching drivers to see a child standing on the pavement waiting to cross and it also allows the child to see the approaching traffic．Parking or stopping in these designated(指定的)areas is potentially dangerous．

　　·Give yourself plenty of time to get to school．

　　·If there is congestion(交通拥挤)near the school，park a little further away and walk．

　　·Do not stop or park on SCHOOL KEEP CLEAR markings，even to set down or pick up passengers．

　　·Avoid(避免)parking on the opposite side of the road to these markings．

　　·Do not reverse(倒车)your car into school entrances in order to turn around．

　　·Do not double park outside schools．

　　School entrances should be kept clear by drivers．Inconsiderate parking could prove very dangerous for children．
