Message from Cardinia Shire Council - Road Safety Reminder for Parents/Guardians while in School Zones

We wish to remind drivers of the utmost importance of road safety when parking around the school, at pick up and drop off times. 

To ensure the safety of all pedestrians, students and members of our school community, we ask that you: 

• Adhere to the road rules: Do not block the flow of traffic or allow students to get in and out of a vehicle while in the flow of traffic, even if the vehicle is stopped. 
• Park only in designated areas: Parking is not permitted on nature strips, no-stopping zones, no-parking zones, bus zones, or areas reserved for staff. Please adhere to all signage and the road rules. 
• Follow drop-off and pick-up procedures: Use the designated drop-off and pick-up zones to ensure a smooth and safe flow of traffic. 
• Be mindful of pedestrians: Follow directions from School Crossing Supervisors and take extra caution during peak times when children are arriving or leaving school. 
• Be respectful: Council Parking Officers are required to conduct regular patrols around schools to ensure safety. Please be respectful, and courteous. 

Drivers are advised that any offences detected may lead to the issuing of an infringement notice. This may be affixed to the windscreen or posted via mail.
