• Question 13 The traffic flow around the school
  is highly undesirable. If possible, please
  propose an alternative solution to our current
  traffic flow during the morning and afternoon
  drop-off and pick-up periods.
• Implement a drive-through on Campground Rd
  (existing infrastructure) for those of us who
  just wish to drop and go and not park.
• Encourage more people to park on the empty piece
  of ground near Bishops and walk across the road
  to collect their kids.
• Start / finish grades at different times
• Approach council to convert Campground into
  Rouwkoop a one-way towards the mountain.
• Organise lift clubs
• Allocate grades to different drop off areas away
  from campus and possibly stagger drop off times
• Parking for FP parents in school grounds
• Open lane in front of school that has been
  blocked off
• Create drive through at Grade 7 playground by
  putting a gate at off ramp near hall side,
  strictly stop and go, no parking before 8am and
  after 215 for half and hour.
• RBPS Jamie Shuttle bus for Bosch area.
• Suburb based lift schemes, common pickup point in
  morning
• Campground and Sandown If robot can be set to
  have the green man for longer (at the moment
  about 15 seconds) and possibly a traffic person
  at the crossing, it would be safer and parents
  who walk to their childrens classes, especially
  FP, could be encouraged to park here
• School bus system
• Overhead pedestrian bridge
• Rouwkoop Road drop and go in mornings
• School parking area should be open
• Rouwkoop one way during peak times
• Older children should walk away from school and
  be collected up or down the road
