CARLISLE's neighbourhood policing team has been out reminding parents that stopping on yellow zigzag lines, even briefly, can result in a fine.
Officers monitored the area around Newlaithes Primary School, Carlisle, with civilian enforcement officers yesterday (October 24).
They found no major issues but did speak to a couple of people.
A spokesperson from Carlisle Police said: "These zig zags are there to protect children as they enter and exit school and give them the space to check its safe to cross the road without any hidden surprises.
"Thank you to all the parents who are finding safe responsible places to park and being considerate of both children and residents in the community."
