School Zones

Municipal Law Enforcement Officers are your partners in safety. Community members can file complaint with Service Oshawa regarding a school zone. An Officer will attend the school and ensure that parking and traffic regulations are followed. They are there to help - safety is the number one priority. For more information, please read our School Safety Bulletin.

No Stopping Zones

Do not stop in a "No Stopping Zone" unless required to stop to avoid conflict with other vehicles or required to by a traffic sign or signal. Stopping can reduce the view of other drivers and pedestrians and increase the chance of an accident.

No Parking Zones

You can stop briefly to drop off or pick up passengers in these zones, but waiting in a vehicle or leaving your vehicle unattended is not allowed. Parking in a "No Parking Zone" can also contribute to traffic congestion and collisions and reduce the view of drivers and pedestrians.

Fire Routes

Fire routes help Fire and Emergency Crews access buildings in an emergency. Blocking these routes, even to drop off or pick up students, can be very dangerous for everyone.

Kiss and Ride

The design of these areas makes pick-up and drop-off at school quick and efficient. Please do not park or leave your vehicle unattended in a Kiss and Ride area.

Accessible Parking Spaces

Only those with a valid Accessible Parking Permit may occupy these spaces. Learn more about accessible parking permits.
