Victoria Police had taken to social media to remind road users that schools are back for term four.
Drivers were reminded that when approaching school crossings, they need to slow down to 40km/h or less, watch for children, and remember, the crossing must be completely clear of all pedestrians, including the crossing supervisor before driving through.
Road users are also reminded to avoid parking too close to school crossings, as supervisors need a clear field of view in all directions to keep everyone safe.
Reduced speed limits, school crossings and parking restrictions around schools are in place to manage traffic flow during peak times and maximise safety for children and all road users.
Local police are urging locals to all do their part to keep kids safe on their way to and from school.

NSW students go back to school from next Monday.
