By Pupil safety is being increased in North Lincolnshire with the introduction of immediate penalty notices for anyone parking on yellow lines near a school.
Previous rules have been toughened up, so community wardens can now issue anyone parking on yellow lines within 100m of a school with an immediate notice, carrying a £70 fine.
Anyone parking on the zig-zag lines outside a school can already receive an instant penalty notice.
Parking near schools at drop off and pick up times creates a dangerous hazard, obstructing sightlines for children crossing the road and restricting the flow of traffic.
Rules on parking restrictions not within 100m of a school are unaffected by the change.

All school pupils in England will return to class from March 8
Breakfast and after-school clubs can also reopen, and other children’s activities including sport can restart “where necessary to help parents to work” the Prime Minister announced.
All primary and secondary schools have been closed since Jan 5 following the introduction of a third national lockdown in England, and have since offered remote learning for students. Only vulnerable children and children of key workers are currently allowed to attend schools for face-to-face learning.
With schools going back North Lincolnshire Council want to ensure that pupil safety is key and traffic flows smoothly.
