LEARN HOW TO DRIVE WHEN PICKING UP KIDS AT SCHOOL !!!!!
« on: 08 August 2011, 20:01:47 »
I have a question, is the road behind Sequoia School [ Whiskers ] a one way for both lanes ??? I don't recall seing any signs that say it is ........... but yet when I was on it today at 2:45 PM both lanes were traveling towards the school WTF is up with that ???? There were cars passing on the gravel both lanes were full...... just because school started does not mean you are to drive like a freaking retard.........................  ;D

There was paperwork sent home Friday that states how the parking lot is supposed to be working for pick up and drop off. I don't have it in front of me, but in the morning and afternoon Whisker is supposed to be an ENTER only and the main road out of the school is supposed to be EXIT only. On the form it shows "no exit" and "no entrance" with the house.

Total PITA today. Hopefully they will post signs and there won't be any more problems.

Whisker Road is a city-maintained street for two-way traffic.  If people are driving on it incorrectly, MPD needs to be notified so they can come down there and straighten everyone out.

I noticed a sign posted that says exit only between certain hours (before and after school). I wish it would really be exit only, so that people who want to turn left could be in the left lane! The people trying to make left hand turns onto Porter are the ones backing up the line and causing congestion!

This is the WORST year at PATHWAY (Sequoia)   HOW DAMM hard is it to NOT ENTER ON PORTER and ENTER on WHISKER RD.  IF the parents took the time to go to MEET THE TEACHER night then I guess they would know this (paperwork was available)   So for anyone who does enter on Porter between the hours of  7am-9am  I think those were the hours posted  DONT DO IT.  I know that when I go to leave I am more over to the left then I should be to slow down the PARENTS who choose not to DO THE RIGHT THING.  I just wonder if the parents can't  listen to the rules or read the rules and follow them what are they bringing into the school?  MORE children who do whatever they want.  I sure do hope not.   ::)      I love PATHWAY

I took the time to go to Meet the Teacher night, and didn't receive the notification. The only reason I figured it out was because of the sign posted.

I can say that it seems to be a cluster for anyone driving on the 'major' roads... School Zones are 'no passing zones' yet as a driver not waiting in a long line of cars to turn into the school and on the major road, what are you supposed to do? Wait in the long line of cars that are pulled off (some of them) to the right side to turn right into the school? Or are you going to pass this long line of 20 + cars on the left of them, but 'technically' passing in the school zone?  I really don't like how these schools are set up for pick up and drop off, off these 'major' roads like RED PKWY.
