Junior school wardens
Junior school wardens are the senior pupils of primary schools who operate in teams of six to give the same service given by an adult school warden. When they want traffic to stop, they give a signal to traffic on both sides of the road. When the traffic is stopped, the wardens take up their position and guide the younger children across the road. All vehicles must remain stopped until all the junior wardens have returned to the footpath.
Never park in a place that blocks a warden’s view. School wardens must be able to see the road clearly to do their work properly and safely.
Cyclists and motorcyclists
Never put a cyclist or motorcyclist at risk and know your duty to be aware of them. They are especially vulnerable if there is a crash.
In particular, watch for cyclists and motorcyclists:
- at junctions;
where cycle tracks merge with roads; when you change lanes; when opening your door to get out of a vehicle; when stopping and turning, especially when making a left turn; and when reversing.
The best way to take care near cyclists and motorcyclists is to use your mirrors and recheck blind spots.
