Advice for Parents, Carers, Guardians and Drivers

The City of Gold Coast wants to ensure motorists are complying with school zone road rules at and around schools, creating a safer environment for children and the broader school community. These rules also help to optimise traffic movement and safety.

Please take extra care and obey the signed parking rules when parking on the roads and streets around the school.

Park Safe Vehicles - Licence Plate Recognition (LPR)

As part of the City Parking Plan 2015 to improve parking behaviour on the Gold Coast, City Parking Officers will soon patrol the city (including key school zones) using vehicles, clearly badged as “Park Safe” vehicles. These vehicles use Licence Plate Recognition (LPR) which is camera technology fitted to Park Safe vehicles to ensure motorists are parking safely.

Park Safe will operate on school days at student drop-off and pick-up times focusing on pedestrian areas around schools. If a vehicle is found to be parked illegally the City will issue an infringement notice to the registered vehicle owner by post.

Offences to be aware of:

stopping 20 metres before or 10 metres after a sign posted crossing
stopping 20 metres before or 10 metres after a bus stop
stopping within 10 metres of an intersection or corner
stopping within a bus zone (bayed area)
stopping on a footpath or nature strip within a built-up area
stopping in a way that restricts access to a driveway
stopping on a yellow painted line
stopping in a loading zone
double parking for any period of time.

Park safely and legally to avoid a fine.
