Motorists reminded to slow down in school zones

“Motorists need to be aware of the school zones and slow down and take notice of school crossing supervisors,” he said.

Drivers must slow to 40 km/h in designated speed zones between 8 am and 9.30 am, and 2.30 pm and 4 pm.

“Parents also need to ensure they park safely around school when they are dropping off or picking up their children,” Mr Teitzel said.

“Our parking enforcement officers are able to issue fines in school zones and will be acting on any illegal or unsafe parking.”

Traffic will be especially busy on Verney Rd and Balaclava Rd in Shepparton because of road works and school crossings.
