GLEN EIRA CITY COUNCIL

SCHOOL CROSSING & ROAD SAFETY VIDEO

As we start a new school year, we thought it might be a good time to remind all parents and students about the parking and school crossings surrounding your busy school.

Glen Eira Council has created a short, animated video which was shared with you all last year. It is a fabulous two-and-half minute video that explains parking signs, how the school crossing operates and aims to promote safety surrounding your schools. It encourages students to walk or ride to school, too, even if only from a few blocks away, in order to help ease traffic congestion, improve healthy activity and to help the environment.
