Back to School - Take extra care in school zones
With students returning to school this week, please remember to take extra care in school zones and on our roads.
Here are some safety tips for travelling to and from school:
- Remember the school zone 40km/h speed limit and look out for any children who may be about
- Park safely and legally, even if it means you must walk further to the school
- Be aware of pedestrians on or near road crossings
- Drop your children off and pick them up on the school side of the road in the designated school drop - off and pick- up area
- It is safest for children to get out of the car through the Safety Door, away from passing traffic. This is the rear footpath side door of the car
- Watch for flashing lights on buses. This is to let you know that children may be crossing or about to cross the road
- A 40km/h limit applies when school bus lights flash
