Children's school crossings

Children’s school crossings are placed at locations to help children safely cross the road, especially on their way to/from school. Some of these crossings also feature pedestrian-operated signals, where required.

Understanding the rules at school crossings

Drivers must take responsibility for parking safely at all times, especially around school crossings.

When driving near school crossings:

• please keep the children’s crossing clear

• parking is not allowed within 20m before a school crossing or 10m 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 (ie. you are not allowed to stop next to a parked car).

If you have any issues with parking near your local school, contact us.
