What’s your favorite example of a solution to reduce or eliminate cars idling in school pickup lines (that doesn’t involve eliminating the cars?)

@getalifemike The route to school here is down a busy road and crossing a busier road. It would need a re-design before a biking school bus would work well.

I’m curious about policies or signage about idling, as there are a lot of cars arriving that can’t easily be converted to other modes now.

@markstos cars making every other transpo option slow and unsafe. Sad but typical.

@getalifemike Yes. If the infra around the school was better, more people could bike and walk there. It’s on the edge of town and the near a gorge, so there’s not as much density and paths to it as a truly urban school.

@markstos @getalifemike technically that's a bike lane if anybody chooses to use it but maybe you need a police escort, I've never understood the part of traffic Engineering with the guns. 🙃
