Parent Traffic Wardens Needed:
We want to work together to ensure that the roads in Nichada are safe for our children. Many children commute to school on bicycles or on foot. Despite the existence of bicycle lanes and crosswalks, students are in harm’s way when drivers of cars and golf carts fail to drive at a safe speed, pass dangerously, fail to give right of way at the front roundabout, and park in bicycle lanes. ISB administration is working with Nichada Thani on a variety of solutions to educate our community and enforce safety rules.
While the ISB guards work hard at managing the school crosswalks and entrances, they need our support. We are organizing parents to volunteer alongside the ISB guards and help make our school zones safer. This will require a team of parents who care enough about this issue to make a difference. Parent volunteers will be involved in assisting students at crosswalks, reminding offending drivers about the school zone rules, and reporting offenders to administration when they continue to break safety rules.
There is much talk about wanting greater safety in our community. Please volunteer your time to make ISB and it’s surrounding roads the safe environment we all want for our kids. If you are interested, please email me at escoord@isb.ac.th.
