Traffic is still a problem
People often complain about the traffic during school holidays, but the schools and police breathe a sigh of relief.
Gone, for the time being, are the queues of cars lining up outside the Peninsulas schools and the worry over traffic management.
School is back now and Empire Bay Drive outside the school is awash with cars, buses, kids and their parents.
The biggest concern for police, says Sgt Vic Rogers of Woy Woy Highway Patrol, is parents using the "No Stopping" zones outside the Empire Bay Public School to drop off and pick up kids.
These zones are designated only for buses, to safely deliver and collect their charges.
The concern of the staff and principal of the school is that children may run on the road between cars and be seriously injured if they are not seen.
Principal Mr Gordon Fraser has been urging parents to stop only in the designated drop off and pick up areas.
Many parents at the school have been concerned about the speed at which the traffic travels along Empire Bay Drive, particularly at school start and finish times.
The signs clearly indicate that it is a 40kph zone during these times, but it is obvious to many that some drivers ignore this.
Only last week, when the kindergarten children were out having a road crossing lesson, a couple of cars ran the red light.
Some of the parents are understandably angry.
"Were all concerned about the safety of our own children, but surely we should be looking out for all the other kids as well" said one parent.
Woy Woy Highway Patrol aim to regularly and randomly attend schools in the area in a bid to raise awareness and establish a presence.
This situation is not restricted to this school.
All the schools on the Peninsula face similar dilemmas.
It is the responsibility of drivers to be on the lookout around schools and obey the rules for the safety of the children.
