Sykes urges motorists to beware around schools
The Nationals member for Benalla, Bill Sykes is urging caution on the roads, especially next week as school resumes.
“During the next week or so especially, motorists need to be aware of increased pedestrian traffic and observe school crossings as our children settle into the new school year,” Dr Sykes said.
“The start of the school year can be a dangerous time on our roads and I am urging both pedestrians and motorists alike to take extra care in school precincts.”
Dr Sykes said there are maximum speed zones of 40 kmh in school precincts and caution should also be exercised when approaching school crossings.
“During the past 12 months I have been fortunate to visit a number of schools in the Benalla Electorate as well as attending a number of school award ceremonies towards the end of the school year.”
“Our young people are our investment in the future and I am extremely proud of the achievements of our students which are a great tribute to both the students for their hard work and the staff for their diligence in the class room.”
Dr Sykes concluded, “I take this opportunity to extend to the students in the Benalla Electorate my best wishes for a productive and safe 2008. I look forward to visiting as many schools as possible during the coming year”.
