UPCOMING EVENTS
5/6 - 510 - Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week
Torrance Police Department is reminding motorists to take extra precaution when travelling in school zones.
When schools are in session, many children will be walking or riding their bicycles to and from school – many of them during the busiest time of the day when motorists are travelling to work or home after a tiring day.
We are offering the following tips:
- Motorists and parents need to pay attention to parking regulations in and adjacent to school facilities. Be aware of the following “no parking” signs, red zones, fire hydrants, blocking or stopping in disabled stalls, crosswalks, driveways and double parking. Torrance Police will be citing for violations.
Video cameras are used at all Torrance schools to record violations. Parking citations will then be mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle. You can help by NOT picking up or dropping off in the following areas:
- Driveways
- Red Zones
- No Stopping Zones
- Double Parking
- Crosswalks/Intersections
- Handicapped Spaces
- Middle of the street
By following the suggestions above, we can work together to provide a safe environment for students while avoiding parking citations. Remember, wear your seatbelt, and have a safe school year.
