🛑 SLOW DOWN! 🛑

With students returning to school, don’t forget to reduce your speed in school zones.

On weekdays, the reduced speed limit applies around schools from 8am to 9.30am, and again from 2.30pm to 4pm.

Council’s school crossing supervisors will also be back at schools, helping children safety cross the road. 🚶

Here are five tips to help keep children safe around schools. 

⏰ Allow enough time to take your child to the school gate safely. Consider parking a few streets away and walking your child the rest of the way to school.

🛑 Obey all traffic control signs and the directions of the school crossing supervisor.

🚗 Plan with your child as to when and where they can be picked up or dropped off safely. Find locations where it is safe to get out of the car and cross the road.

🚶 Where available, always cross at a supervised school crossing even if it is further away.

🙅 Never call children from across the road.
