Road Safety Reminders

Children's and supervised crossings

For your child's safety, it's very important they always use a pedestrian crossing if there is one available. It is the safest point at which to cross the road. 

At all crossings you must wait on the footpath, at least one step back from the edge of the road.

Supervised crossings

If there is a School Crossing Supervisor, wait until they have stopped the traffic and called you to cross .

If you are driving, you must not proceed until the School Crossing Supervisor's hand-held sign is no longer displayed, or until the crossing supervisor indicates that you may proceed through the crossing.

Children's crossings

Children's crossings are usually part-time crossings that operate before and after school hours. They can also operate at other times when children use the crossing for excursions or during break times. When 'Children Crossing' flags are displayed, you must stop at the white line if pedestrians are waiting to cross. Drivers must remain stationary until the crossing is clear of pedestrians.

Children learn safe road user habits from you and will continue them when they areold enought to travel alone.
