Parking Around QAE

10/8/2015

 
Now that the days are getting shorter and the weather is getting wetter, it is even more dangerous to park in all the wrong places, at all the wrong times.  Neighbors are frustrated and parking tickets/warnings are being doled out.

Reminders for Pick up, Drop off & Parking around school:
  • The School Bus Zone is located along Bigelow on the NE side of QAE, please do not stop or park in this area during drop off & pick up hours. 
  • Be mindful of QAE Student Crossing Guards at crosswalks around school. Slow down and DO NOT stop or park within 20 feet of a crosswalk.
  • Boston St. & 5th Ave N is where most of our local parents cross to & from school.  DO NOT PARK within thirty feet upon the approach to any flashing signal, stop sign, yield sign, or traffic control signal located at the side of a roadway.  
  • Respect our neighbors.  Please do not park in front of a public or private driveway or within five feet of the end of the curb radius.​  
  • More information on Washington State Code RCW 46.61.570 can be found here.

Thank you and drive safely!
