Road Safety Reminders
Meadowbank Public School
Rhodes Street - School Kiss and Ride Zones
For our students’ safety and to make drop-off and pick-up quicker, please use the Kiss and Ride Zone at the front of the school responsibly. We share this zone with the high school, so primary school parents are asked to leave the zone promptly once their child is safely inside the school so that high school student parents may drop off their children.
Drop Off and Pick Up Areas
A ‘Kiss and Ride Zone’ or ‘Drop-off and Pick-up’ area utilises existing 'No Parking' zones around schools. In these areas, drivers may stop to drop off or pick up children, however No Parking rules apply:
• Maximum stop time is 2 minutes.
• Driver must remain in or within 3 metres of the vehicle.
• Vehicle must not be left unattended.
Additional safety tips for school zones:
• Always drop-off or pick-up your child from the designated area, following the school’s procedures.
• Make sure children use the footpath-side door when getting in and out of a car.
• Make sure the hand brake is applied when the vehicle is stationary.
• Never double park.
• Never park across a pedestrian crossing.
• Never undertake a U-turn in close proximity to the school.
Fine exceeds $215 and 2 demerit points.
