Considering the excessive vehicular commotion near the school, we had put up the tire killers to ensure that people coming to pick their kids do not drive on the wrong side. The wrong-way drivers were a threat to kids' safety. Also, we have seen multiple accidents every now and then. Since we put up these, the number of people driving in the wrong direction has decreased.
