There is concern around town that school drop zones are becoming a little dangerous as there are reports of drivers not following speed limits or looking to see if kids/teens are crossing the road near schools.

Every school day, there is hundreds of kids and/or their parents in the areas before and after school and rules must be obeyed to ensure that those using the footpaths and roads get to and from school safely.

All drivers should take their time through the school zones to ensure a safe trip for all, students should also make sure to look both ways constantly to avoid walking into the path of any vehicles as it is easy to get distracted by music, inner thoughts or conversation.

Together everyone can make the school zones a safe place to travel through when school is about to be in session or just finished for the day/week.
