To ensure the safety of our children, parents and crossing supervisors we have been asked by City of Greater Bendigo - Community and Environmental Health Team to remind our community of the safety requirements when passing through school crossing zones.

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.
