The new clear ways on Cabramatta road adjacent to our lady mount Carmel school really affects us parents especially on really hot days and on rainy days as we now have to park up to 5 minutes plus away from the school witch is affecting our health and very uncomfortable circumstances especially for us elderly and disabled parents. Their isn’t enough parking in adjacent streets you really made things uncomfortable hard and are hearting our health. I would like to see if you would walk in bad weather how you would feel you would be very upset as we are .

I strongly object to the new clearways on Cabramatta road as they are causing traffic chaos in surrounding streets and even on Cabramatta road prior to Humphreys road intersection. This is due to the congestion on Humphries road caused by the clearways so the clearways have done nothing to alleviate traffic but instead added to it.
I request the clearways be reconsidered and removed to help with the better flow of traffic. It has become a nightmare.
I also believe the school should consider having a teacher on duty at the kiss n drop zones to monitor parents and ensure it is a quick kiss and drop with parents not getting out of the car to help their children which adds to the traffic problem. If their children are not ready to do kiss n drop , they should park their car in the surrounding streets and walk them in. I did this for 3 years before my kids were ready to do kiss n drop. It is really frustrating for us parents who would like to get their children to school and be at work on time.

I'm sure the RMS thought they were making the right decision by changing Cabramatta Rd to a clear way in order for traffic to flow. However, surely this can be evaluated as it is actually causing more traffic build up than before. The amount of cars trying to turn right off of Cabramatta Rd onto Humphries Rd (in both directions) in the mornings has caused traffic to build up so that only a few cars at a time can actually drive through the intersection. The opposite problem occurs in the afternoon with traffic on Humphries Rd being built up.
In the mornings, the kiss and drop zone on Cabramatta Rd is virtually unusable as only a few cars can go in at a time. Parents are then asked to go to the one on Humphries Rd. That congests up the traffic on Humphries Rd. It's even worse as it is also a bus zone. So when there is an excursion, the buses park there to pick up the students, therefore there is NO kiss and drop area.
Then there is the issue of parking. The school has over 800 students. Even if only a quarter of parents drop off and pick up their children, that's 200 cars that need to park along Humphries Rd and (limited) surrounding streets. It is very unsafe for students at the moment to cross the streets with the sheer amount if cars congested along Humphries Rd. When there is a funeral at the church, this makes it virtually impossible to find somewhere to park.
For the sake of the students' safety, I strongly urge RMS to reevaluate their decision in making Cabramatta Rd a clear way, as well as perhaps changing the traffic lights at the intersection so that the traffic flows better.

For a parent with a disability, it is near impossible trying to drop off my child to school without the drop off. I would like to see some immediate changes made. Obviously whoever was behind the decisions doesn't have primary aged children going to a nearby school.

Dangerous. Needs to be kept clear or widen the road. Too many sudden stops.

The clearway on Cabramatta Rd has caused more traffic issues then resolving any issues. It has now made parents try and find parking on the already conjested Humphries rd and the limited off streets that are available. This can be more dangerous to the young children that are walking along Humphries rd due to the extra traffic going through. I hope the RMS would consider allowing parents and carers to be able to park on Cabramatta rd during school drop off and pick up.

We should be able to park during drop off and pick up hours. Clearway can be any other times.it is quite dangerous for my children to crossing the Rd on Humphries Rd as there are no crossing further down the road except for only 1 crossing at the school.

Dear RMS,
I would like to show strong objection to the implementation of the Clearway on the Cabramatta Road West around the OLMC in Mount Pritchard as the consultation had not thoroughly done and also without further research on its effects to local streets around OLMC Primary school. We want our parking and our Kiss and Drop off driveway reinstated back to normal. We want the NSW RMS to assume responsibility of this chaos and to become contactable instead of sending young RMS officials in high viz vests who do not care for the community.
I would encourage those decision makers to come down to witness created issues to parents, kids and local residents. Too easy too make decision without having a care factor and see its consequences.

Surely the safe drop off of our children should be considered above all. A change in the time of the clearway should not be a problem to organise. Get some sense in this matter.

Cabramatta Road parking is needed to pick up kids from Out Lady of My Carmel due to limited parking also its great easy and fast route to parents that have kids from other schools.
