Kids are back at school, and Moorabool Shire Council is asking the community to be cautious when driving around school zones.

Council has reminded residents to take care when driving around school zones, especially at crossings. The school zone speed limit is 40 km/h – make sure you abide by the limit when driving near a school.

Pedestrians should always cross at a designated crossing and follow the crossing supervisor’s directions, waiting until the supervisor has blown their whistle before crossing.

You should only cross on foot – do not ride bikes or scooters, bounce balls, or run across a crossing.
