Back to School 2022

Upper Hutt City Council

With the new school year starting next week we all have a part to play to keep our tamariki safe on their way to and from school.

Slow down around schools and be alert and ready for the sometimes-unpredictable actions of young children.

When leaving your driveway drive out forwards if possible – if you must back, take extra care as children may be walking or scooting along the footpath (perhaps even give a toot as a warning).

Watch out and be prepared to stop at crossings – some of these are controlled by school patrols.

Stop and park legally and away from the school gate – it is illegal to stop or park on broken yellow lines.

If you are driving your children to school make sure your child is in a child restraint and it is correctly fitted.

For more information about child restraints check out https://www.nzta.govt.nz/safety/what-waka-kotahi-is-doing/education-initiatives/child-restraints/
