Director Business Chris Teitzel said “school zones are in place to improve safety for children and motorists around school crossings and school zones”.
“With people having been on holiday or not having school aged children they may not be aware school is back tomorrow. Motorists need to be aware of the school zones and slow down and take notice of school crossing supervisors,” he said.
“We are simply asking motorists to take care around schools and adhere to the speed limits which are in place from 8am until 9.30am and then 2.30pm to 4pm.”
“Parents also need to ensure they park safely around school when they are dropping off or picking up their children. Our parking enforcement officers are able to issue fines in school zones and will be acting on any illegal or unsafe parking.” said Mr Teitzel.
