With schools fully opening this week and next, An Garda has issued a plea for road safety awareness, writes Brian Byrne. It applies both to drivers and parents.

Drivers are asked to be extra vigilant near schools, follow directions from traffic wardens, slow down, give space to cyclists and pedestrians, and not to park on yellow lines.

Parents should always think about safety while dropping off and picking up their children, avoid dangerous or illegal parking, and, very importantly, talk to their children about road safety.
