Parts of London have fines and people patrolling school drop offs to stop this happening. Some schools have no drive zones around the entry gates at certain hours to reduce the pollution load at drop off/pick up time Still even in London 30% of journeys are regarded as unecessary being 5 minutes or less driving.
Air pollution is a big deal here and you have to be carefull about where you live if it's an issue for you. We have maps available to us showing pollution intensity which gets down to street level of granularity and cover 5 or 6 key pollutants and particulates.
