Last week, I walked students to the station. I was quite alarmed at the impulsive behaviour that I observed. Jaywalking across Molesworth Street/Hill Street and running across the road even though the Kate Shepherd icon was still red. Accidents waiting to happen. We must mitigate as much risk as we can. The expectation is that the children walk right down to the bottom of Molesworth Street and cross at the traffic lights when the green Kate Shepherd alerts them to cross. This is the safest way.

If your child is walking to and from the station, please speak with them about being a safe pedestrian and always having to be patient and not impulsive.
