SAFETY REMINDER

Our School Crossing Supervisors have reported an increase in students riding their bikes across the road rather than dismounting before entering the crossing. This behaviour poses significant safety risks—not only to the students on bikes, but also to other pedestrians and the supervisors managing the crossing.

Riding through a crossing can lead to:

• Reduced visibility and reaction time for both the student and approaching vehicles.
• Loss of control, especially in wet weather or crowded crossing areas.
• Increased risk of collisions with other students who are walking.

• Confusion for drivers, who expect pedestrians—not cyclists—within the crossing space.

   

To maintain a safe and consistent environment across all school crossings, it is essential that all students dismount and walk their bikes across the road every time.
