Road Safety

Mudgee Public School welcomes careful road users. The streets that form the perimeter around the school can become very busy just before and just after school. Collectively, motor vehicles, bicycles, scooters and pedestrian traffic create a potentially dangerous road area.

We ask that all our road users obey the rules of the road and exercise courtesy and caution at all times.

Students must wear an Australian Standards fitting helmet and dismount from their bicycle or scooter at pedestrian crossings. Students must not ride their bicycle or scooter in school grounds. Bicycles must be stored in the bicycle racks at the school. Students can provide their own lock.

Scooters are to be stored at teacher discretion in a safe place which does not obstruct any doorways, classroom area, or paths.

Drop Off and Pick Up

The Kiss and Ride zones are located on Perry street. These follow the rules of a No Parking Zone (i.e. vehicles can only remain for 2 minutes and the driver must remain within 3 metres of the vehicle). Please ensure that when students leave a vehicle, they must do so on the kerb side via the safety door. Please refrain from encouraging students to cross the road by calling them or sounding a horn.
