High schools and elementary schools have slightly different times but there's only so much you can do, you can't expect kids to go home at 7 pm, or start at 4 am.If you really wanted to reduce the problem, you'd have staggered-start for schools, which means the times people are dropping kids off is elongated, but the density is reduced.
When you have tons of people going to a same place at the same time there just is going to be high traffic one way or another. I know to avoid schools when kids get out because driving there is scary regardless of if there are parents with their cars. Quite frankly I prefer cars because they are easier to see and predict than something like a boy suddenly diving in front of me to pick up candy on a road (actually happened last month but nobody got hurt beyond me calling the kid out on being a moron in front of his friends).
Made me think of something—with the potential for high traffic and their love of government control, why aren't they advocating for some sort of boarding school system? Why have buses when you can just live there instead? Besides, they run with the same sort of crowd who idolize Harry Potter...
