Pupils in Lancaster have taken part in a campaign highlighting the importance of vehicles stopping for school crossing patrol officers.
'Stop means STOP' is the vital safety message being shared with drivers, reminding them of their legal duty to stop when instructed by a school crossing patrol officer.
Lancashire County Council's Road Safety team took the message directly to communities last week, including at Moorside Primary School.
Lancashire County Council's Leader, Stephen Atkinson and cabinet member for Transport and Highways, Councillor Warren Goldsworthy also attended the session on School Crossing Patrol driver behaviour and road safety sessions outside the school on Bowerham Road.
Officers from the council's Road Safety and Civil Enforcement teams attended alongside Lancashire Police officers and School Crossing Patrol officers to engage with parents and guardians and passing motorists about road safety, parking and speed.
They were reminded of the law regarding drivers stopping for school crossing patrols and were given advice on being a safe and considerate driver, including keeping to safe speeds and responsible parking.
Leaflets sharing the 'Stop means STOP' message, containing vital road safety messages, were handed out at the schools, while large display signs shared safety information. As well as this, parents across the county were sent 'Stop means STOP' leaflets electronically from all primary schools in Lancashire.
Cllr Warren Goldsworthy said: "Most drivers stop and help to keep children safe but a small minority ignore patrols and put lives at risk.
‘’Keeping children safe is everyone's responsibility. If a School Crossing Patrol says stop, you must stop."
