Traffic Safety Message

We have noticed an increase in students being dropped off at the Barkly Street crossing outside St Mary's and the Milroy and Barkly Street roundabout. While this may seem convenient, it can create unsafe situations for students and other road users.

When vehicles stop at or near the crossing or roundabout to let students out, they are still in the traffic. This makes it difficult for drivers to see pedestrians and can lead to traffic congestion for vehicles travelling behind, creating a risk to both students and other road users.

We kindly ask all families to avoid dropping students at the crossing or roundabout and instead use safe, designated drop-off locations. Working together, we can help keep our students and the wider community safe.

Thank you for your cooperation.
