Targeting individual parents probably doesn't work. The better answer is School Streets, which Lewisham seems to be thinking about.
(the even better answer is 24/7 road closures and massively reduced car use, but not gonna happen in Lewisham)

If you're in Lewisham borough I would like to work with you because it boils my piss in se26 -
I like that scheme. It means that work on engaging behaviour change is moot. Unfortunately it appears that only schools with a proactive travel plan are likely to engage:
The school I’ve been trying to get a response from don’t appear to be working on one, I see no evidence of engagement with modeshift or sustrans to prove me wrong either.
Frankly, the most effective way to get people to stop is simply to ticket them. Stationing a traffic warden at drop off and pick up has been incredibly affective in the past, after all what they are doing is not legal. Again, as a civilian, organising this has proved challenging.

While I’m here, what the fuck can I do about the fuckwit parents that feel it’s ok to idle thier engines on yellow lines, in the middle of the road and anywhere else ‘convenient’ outside the primary school on the road I live on?? I’m a former travel plan project manager and am frustrated as hell by the lack of engagement by the school and council, whom I have emailed multiple times with my concerns. It’s endemic, it seems to be totally acceptable to this group to congest and pollute right where their progenies spend most of their time. What can I do? In Lewisham fwiw.
