School Zone Safety

School Zone Monitoring

Keep Students Safe. Keep Traffic Moving.

Morning and afternoon school runs can create chaos – double parking, overstay, or bus lane violations, all while students navigate crowded curbs. Traditional manual enforcement is inconsistent, confrontational, and puts staff at risk.

Our solution replaces outdated methods with automated, fair, and scalable enforcement that improves safety, traffic flow, and community trust.

School Zone Monitoring

The Challenge: Curbside Chaos Risks Safety

Despite the best efforts of schools and communities, traffic gridlock remains a common issue as stressed and busy parents park on yellow lines, block bus zones, and overstay timed spaces.

Illegal Parking

Parents often stop in no-parking zones or block crosswalks during drop-off, compromising safety.

Drop-off overstays

Well-intentioned pickups turn into prolonged halts, clogging bus lanes and impeding traffic flow.

Manual Enforcement

On-site enforcement by council officers or volunteers is inconsistent, confrontational, and unsafe.

How It Works

1

Violation Detection

Pole insertable cameras identify parking violations in real-time

2

Flag Alerts

Incidents trigger instant alerts; system logs vehicle IDs for enforcement

3

Seamless Integration

Timestamped images, vehicle data fed into council systems for review and citations

4

Continuous Monitoring

Scale enforcement across schools and timeframes including peak hours and bus lane periods

Ease Drop-Off Experience

Consistent enforcement prevents illegal parking, double-parking, and blocked crosswalks, ensuring safer school zones. By discouraging risky behaviours, schools can reduce accidents, protect students, and maintain predictable, secure environments during busy drop-off and pick-up periods.

Reduced Congestion and Wait Times

By detecting overstays and improper parking, vehicle turnover in drop-off zones improves. This keeps school buses punctual, reduces gridlock for parents, and improves overall community traffic flow during peak school hours.

SenSen School Zone Monitoring Behavioural Change

Behavioural Change

The presence of visible, automated monitoring systems has seen shift in driver behaviour, promoting long-term compliance. Knowing violations will be consistently detected encourages safer habits, reducing the need for continual staff presence or human intervention.
