School Parents Need to Stop Blocking Intersections For Pick Ups
Rant: Reminder to all Emerald High School parents that neighborhood streets, including Grafton and Central, are not pickup areas. Blocking an intersection and causing unnecessary gridlock is illegal.
Today, several cars ended up having to drive onto the median because parents were refusing to move even though the light was green. That is incredibly dangerous and completely avoidable.
The police have emergency situations to respond to, and the fact that there isn't constant enforcement at these neighborhood intersections does not mean the rules don't apply.
Please don't block the intersection. If you're picking up your student, pick them up where you are supposed to and keep the intersection clear for everyone.
