Hi, there are no road signs, warnings or markings to warn drivers there is a school here (Abingdon Prep). In the last 2 weeks, we have nearly been hit twice when turning right out of the school by vehicles travelling at speed. This is an accident waiting to happen, and even more worrying is that the passenger who would take the impact of a collision would be a child sat on the nearside. I really don't understand why there is no signage, please rectify this as soon as possible.

In addition. Please repaint the KEEP CLEAR area on the road outside the school entrance/exit, but make it a longer area so that the visibility for the person exiting the school is adequate as at present it is difficult to see oncoming vehicles coming from the Marcham direction.

Thank you for your report. The use of the 'Children' warning sign is to warn drivers that there is a likelihood of children accessing their school on foot. These signs would not be used to indicate the presence of a private driveway.
