SummaryIncreasing the safety of students and neighbouring kindergarten children using existing kea crossing in increased traffic congestion. IssueCommunity consultations identified that traffic flows and pedestrian safety near the school and the neighbouring kindergarten were problems.
The existing kea crossing is sited on a vehicle speed hump. An additional speed hump nearby is also used as an unofficial and unsupervised crossing point, increasing the risk to students safety.
Traffic congestion in the schools drop-off and pick-up area has increased. Major road engineering nearby has meant that the road is also being used as a main thoroughfare to other schools in the area.
Another issue is that drivers often park illegally on broken yellow lines outside the school and exceed the designated parking times. Council parking wardens visited 23 times per term and issued 12 infringements on each occasion.Identification and prioritisationThe issue was identified and prioritised by the SCO in conjunction with the local councils HYPERLINK "https://www.tauranga.govt.nz/services/transportation-roads/sustainable-transport-safety/road-safety-travel-safe/travel-safe.aspx" Travel Safe coordinator. It is an ongoing problem that has worsened since a new secondary school on the same road reached its full year level complement.Short-term goalTo review the existing kea crossing in terms of location and design to ensure that it meets the needs of the school community.Long-term goalTo re-engineer the kea crossing and turn it into a pedestrian crossing supervised by the school patrol team.
To reduce congestion around the school by encouraging changes in driving behavior.
To provide alternative routes and drop-off and pick-up areas.Prevention activitiesActivities that occurred within a whole-school approach included:
School ethos and environment
The school reviewed its policies and procedures on how the school drop-off area was being managed, to include coning the area off after school so that vehicles could not drive through the school grounds.
A staff member was stationed at the drop-off area to ensure that traffic flowed through without drivers parking or leaving their vehicles.
The additional speed was hump monitored by a teacher before and after school. Cones and signage were put in place to deter its use as an unofficial crossing point.
Local council parking wardens checked the area to educate drivers and enforce safe parking practices near the school gate.
Community connections
Meetings were held with the local kindergarten and the nearby preschool to discuss the issue and ascertain their use of the existing crossing.
The school newsletter and school noticeboard were used to advise parents of the changes to the existing crossing and dissuade them from using the additional speed hump as a drop-off point and crossing.
The school contacted the New Zealand Transport Agency about the extent and timeframe of the engineering work being carried out nearby and and discussed how NZTA could help to remove congestion around the school.
Local media were contacted to publicise the changes to the wider community.
The school held regular, ongoing consultation with the local councils Travel Safe coordinator to discuss progress and implement action plans.
Curriculum teaching and learning
The SCO provided road safety education for the entire school as well as the neighbouring kindergarten and preschool. This included practical activities on safe walking and the use of the new crossing.
The HYPERLINK "http://ruben.govt.nz/" Ruben the Road Safety Bear presentation was provided for the junior school.
The schools Travel Safety Team (consisting of years 56 students) developed an in-school promotion encouraging the use of the new crossing. This included a competition and presentations at school assemblies to a wider school audience (including parents).ImpactA newly installed pedestrian crossing improved the safety of the students and community, with more compliance in the use of the designated school crossing. Members of the school patrol state that the crossing has been easier to manage drivers often stop to allow them to extend the crossing signs into the roadway.
Traffic congestion in the school drop-off area has improved; drivers now use the space as intended instead of parking and leaving their vehicles. Parking outside the school gate has also improved.
Completion of the nearby road works has meant that general traffic congestion has visibly improved. However, the through traffic to the nearby secondary school still needs to be reduced.Next stepsThe school will engage with the nearby secondary school to consider a collaborative approach towards reducing traffic congestion. Many parents of secondary students are using the road as a main thoroughfare, so the r e a r e o p p o r t u n i t i e s t o c o n s u l t p a r e n t s / w h n a u o f t h e s c h o o l a n d e n c o u r a g e t h e m t o p l a n s c h o o l j o u r n e y s a l o n g w i d e r , l e s s c o n g e s t e d r o a d c o r r i d o r s .

O b s t a c l e s I t h a s b e e n d i f f i c u l t t o e n g a g e p a rents in terms of the effective modelling of safe practices. The community is multicultural and there are some differences in what parents consider to be safe traffic practices. Previous attempts by the school to institute a walking bus using alternative school gates have struggled, so perseverance is required. ImprovementsTraffic numbers need to be counted so that the congestion and the impact of the intervention can be accurately measured.
More effective communication and consultation is needed with par e n t s / w h n a u t o h e l p i d e n t i f y a n d p r i o r i t i s e t h e i r v i e w s .
G r e a t e r c o l l a b o r a t i o n i s r e q u i r e d w i t h t h e s e c o n d a r y s c h o o l a n d s e n i o r s t u d e n t s t o s h a r e r e s p o n s i b i l i t y f o r t r a f f i c c o n g e s t i o n a n d d r i v e r b e h a v i o u r o n s c h o o l r o u t e s .
W e n e e d t o p r o m o t e a l t e r n a t i v e s that reduce congestion (such as a walking bus) to encourage parents to avoid the main school entrance as their preferred point of access to the school. ConclusionThe general consensus is that the pedestrian crossing has formalised a safe crossing place for all students and preschoolers on their journeys to and from school.
The wider community is also benefitting from having a designated safe crossing place at all times.
The drop-off zone is being utilised well, : E F K L M V s u
