A practical guide to addressing road safety issues around schools
This document is intended to assist school principals and school communities to address road safety issues in the vicinity of schools. The issues could relate to education, enforcement, engineering or the environment. The booklet identifies the roles and responsibilities of those agencies with briefs to manage road safety issues in the vicinity of schools. It gives guidance about seeking assistance from the appropriate agency or agencies, so that road safety issues around schools can be resolved as quickly as possible. Road safety issues, such as student or parent behaviour outside the school, may best be resolved through the road safety education programs carried out within the school and school community. However, some road safety problems involving enforcement, engineering or environmental issues, may need to be referred to the relevant organisation, eg. the police, your local council, your local bus operator or the Ministry of Transport. The Roads and Traffic Authority of NSW (RTA) is responsible for these issues on state roads.
