Driving Near Schools
 |
Reduce your speed. |
|
Be extra aware of pedestirans and school children entering the road. |
|
There can be a greater chance of people using bicycles, so ensure to leave room for them joining the road. |
|
Be aware of crossing patrol guards and obey instructions to stop. Be patient while children are crossing the road. |
|
If there is a school bus parked at the roadside, be prepared for children suddenly running from behind it. Slow down. |
|
Children are less able to judge speeds of oncoming vehicles so are more likely to run into the road. |
|
Do not park your vehicle within 50 meters (165 feet) of the front of the school to allow for increased visibilty of children crossing |
