school zigzags
Bromley Council is discussing challenges in enforcing parking restrictions on school zigzags.
Bromley Council's Executive discussed challenges in enforcing parking restrictions on school zigzags in July 2026. A report to the meeting revealed that issuing Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) for vehicles stopping on school zigzags is challenging because vehicles usually stop for a short period. The council issued eight PCNs for zigzag violations outside Plaistow Lane and Freelands Road between April 2024 and May 2026.
School zigzags are road markings outside schools indicating restricted parking zones. Bromley Council also issued 19 other Penalty Charge Notices for different parking contraventions during school operating hours at the same Plaistow Lane and Freelands Road locations between April 2024 and May 2026.
