My DC go to a small 1form-entry primary school with a pedestrian entrance that goes straight onto the playground.
It's a nightmare. The school repeatedly requests that parents do not use the entrance as a drop-off point as it causes traffic congestion on the quiet one-way residential street that it is accessed by. These requests are largely ignored.
The main issue however is that there is a very busy garage on the same street, just round the corner from the school which has multiple customers double-parked/reversing/driving the wrong way as they wait to be seen.
This morning a car nearly reversed into my dd in her buggy as we started the cross the road and then this afternoon (at school pick-up time) some idiot crashed into a wall driving the wrong way, requiring 2xpolice cars, ambulance, fire engine... I felt bad for the guy but I really felt it illustrated my long-held view that I do not feel safe walking my DC to school.
I intend to go and chat to the school office about it in the morning but I don't really know what they will be able to do, if anything.
Aibu to think that I should be able to walk my children to school without fear of being mown down?
