Keeping the roads safe around schools in Eastern District

1 min read

Please attribute to Inspector Matt Broderick, Eastern District Road Policing:
?
With schools back from the Easter break tomorrow, Police are reminding drivers to take care on the roads and keep our kids safe - especially during the start and finish of the school day
?
Eastern District Police will be out and about near our schools to keep things as safe as possible, but we are asking the public to do their bit as well.
?
Motorists are asked to slow down near schools and be alert to potential unexpected behaviour of children on or near a road - such as bikes or pedestrians crossing the street.?
?
Police will be enforcing speed limits around schools with a 4 km/h tolerance level-?20 km/h is the maximum speed when passing a school bus that ?is dropping and collecting children on the side of the road, so slow down and keep the roads near schools safe for everyone.
?
If you're dropping your young ones to school, remember to ensure they are wearing their seatbelts - as well as your own! Remember to avoid distractions that may take your eyes off the road - such as cellphones or turning around to talk to the kids.
?
Remember, Police cannot do it on their own - road safety is everyone's responsibility.
