Road Safety Message from Canterbury Bankstown Council
Canterbury Bankstown Council’s Road Safety Officers are urging parents, carers and all road users to drive and park safely and appropriately when dropping children at school. School drop-off and pick-up periods can be busy and often drivers feel rushed.
Families may not enter staff car parks; please be advised the rear car park on Minter St is not a drop off or pick up zone. Drop off and pick up must be done on the street, following all road rules.
We would like to remind parents that it is very important to allow enough time to park legally and obey all parking signs within the school zone to avoid unnecessary risk and fines. They should not rush during pick-up and drop-off hours school zones are safe zones. If there are no spaces available to park, look a little further along the road, park and walk to pick up your children.
Council Rangers will be patrolling local schools and issuing fines for breaches and offences to ensure the safety of all school students, especially young children.
