Yellow lines do NOT indicate pickup zones

The Diary has been asked to remind those collecting children from Scoil Bhride not to park on the double yellow lines on Cnoc na Greine Avenue (colloquially known as 'The Long Mile'), writes Brian Byrne.

The lines were laid down following the construction of the pedestrian bridge crossing Pinkeen Stream (below), which is now widely used by children and parents walking from the school to the Castlemartin and Cnoc na Greine estates.

Parking on the double yellows interrupts the sight-lines both for cars using the road and those using the bridge, and creates conditions for a serious accident. There is ample pickup parking outside Scoil Bhride and on the access road to the Community Centre.

Also, and separately, the Cnoc na Greine Residents Association have appealed for cars not to park at the pedestrian access to the GAA grounds at the top end of the Avenue, for the same road safety reasons. Again, there is ample parking in the GAA grounds.
