Please remember, most motorists are in the school zone for the same reason, to collect students. If everyone does the right thing, all students are collected safely and the disruption to residents, businesses and traffic utilising the area is minimal.

Police urge parents and carers to familiarise themselves with the changed traffic conditions and encourage patience, especially for those trying to access the Anderson Rd/Windarra St roundabout.

Police and council will continue to monitor the behaviour of motorists in the area. Fines will be issued to motorists disobeying the road rules.
