SCHOOL CROSSINGS

The City of Greater Bendigo have recently received a high number of incident reports in relation to:

• families parking across designated crossing lines to drop children off at school.
• number of cars driving through the crossing when the supervisor has an active crossing and is holding a stop sign.  

Bendigo Police Highway Patrol have been notified regarding this increased number of incidents and near misses.

Under the Road Safety Road Rules 2017, whenever the school crossing flags are displayed, it is illegal to stop or park:

• 20 metres before a school crossing
• 10 metres after a school crossing
• within 10 metres of an intersection

If school crossing flags are displayed, you must stop for pedestrians. You must remain stopped until the crossing is clear. During active school crossing times the speed limit is reduced to 40km/h.
