Safer school zones
School zone safety improvements have been completed at Lawrence Public School, Yamba Public School, Cowper Public School, Harwood Island Public School and Westlawn Public School.
As school students head back to the classroom, remember to drive safely through school zones and to use allocated parking if you’re dropping your children at school.
