Safe Around Schools 

Being a Safe Driver at School Crossings

 

❑ Drivers must not overtake a vehicle stopping/stopped at the School Crossing. 

 

❑ Keep the School Crossing Clear. Do not stop your car on the crossing. Blocking the crossing is not only against the law, but also dangerous for everyone. 

 

❑ Drivers must stop if a child or adult is about to cross or is crossing while flags are displayed, even if there is no Crossing Supervisor. 

 

❑ Drivers must stop if a handheld “Stop” sign is being displayed. 

 

❑ Drivers must proceed only when all children and adults, including the School Crossing Supervisor are clear of the crossing. 

 

❑ Drivers must approach at a speed slow enough to stop safely, if necessary. 

 

❑ Drivers should always watch out for children near schools. Getting Children to school safely is everyone’s job!
