Bus Safety: Flashing Lights Campaign

Thursday 27 January - Saturday 12 February 2022 is the Transport NSW Flashing Lights Campaign.

You may choose to share one of the images attached here and a road safety message through a parent communication platform during this time frame. Families can help keep children safe by:

• Sticking to the speed limit and following the road rules in school zones
• Slowing down to 40km/h when bus lights are flashing
• Looking out for children crossing the road near bus stops, in school zones or along bus routes
• Giving way to buses when they merge back into traffic.
• Never drop off or meet children on the opposite side of the road to the bus stop or call them across the road. Always drop them off or meet them on the same side of the road as the bus stop.
• Encouraging their children to be distraction-free around buses - put down their phone and take off their headphones.
