Drivers are responsible for driving and parking safely at all times, especially around school crossings.

When driving near school crossings remember the following.

• Always keep the children’s crossing clear.
• Parking is not allowed within 20 m before a school crossing or 10 m after the crossing (unless otherwise signposted). Parking within this area makes it difficult for children and the crossing supervisor to get a clear view of the road.
• It is illegal to double park your car (i.e. you are not allowed to stop next to a parked car). 

We are now accepting nominations for the 2025 School Crossing Supervisor of the Year.
