School back with 40kmh zone in force

Those who disobey road rules and gamble with the lives of children, will face higher penalties and risk losing their licence.
Tragically, 23 children were involved in a crash in an active school zone last year and five of them were seriously injured.
Transport for NSW Deputy Secretary of Safety, Environment and Regulation, Sally Webb, said children could be curious and unpredictable on the road, so drivers needed to observe school zone limits.
“We don’t want more children to be hurt on our roads, so we need everyone to be responsible,” she said.
“Please look out for them when they are crossing, waiting to cross or as they get on or off buses.”
Ms Webb also reminds parents and guardians to start teaching their children from a young age about how to be safe on the road.
“Remind them to Stop! Look! Listen! Think! every time they cross the road, and to keep checking until they safely reach the other side,” she said.
