Please SLOW DOWN around schools

Waikato District Police
41 mins ·
It's not long now till kids are back to school. That means busy times around mornings and afternoons; kids on bikes, kids on scooters; teenagers on mopeds and driving cars. It means 40km/hr and slower around schools too, and 20km/hr past a stationary school bus.
Yes that is almost snail pace. But kids are unpredictable, and may not appreciate the risk of rushing out onto the road. They are also unskilled at estimating the speed of an oncoming car.
But you have learned those skills; so please; please look after our little people. If you need more convincing; we can put you in contact with people who have lost kids on their way to or from school. They may challenge your perceptions.
