Dear families,

It its important to remember that road rules and parking guides are in place to increase the safety of all road users including vulnerable pedestrians and accommodate the various needs of residents, school communities and local business. Motorists are required to always park and drive legally.

To encourage safe road user behaviour around schools, Transport for NSW have created new School safety fact sheets that offer families advice on:

• Holding your child's hand
• Walking safely together to and from school
• Children’s and supervised crossings
• Driving and parking safely near schools
• 40km/h school zones
• Driving safely near school buses
• Keeping your child safe in and out of vehicles
• Keeping your child safe when driving to and from school
• Wearing helmets and riding safely
• Helping your child around buses
• Seatbelt safety on the bus - primary students

The fact sheets can be downloaded from the Centre for Road Safety website Safety around schools | Transport for NSW section.
