PEDESTRIANS have been urged to always use school pedestrian crossings.
Sgt Ben Huismann, of Wedderburn police, said the Wedderburn school crossing was the safest place in town to cross the Calder Highway.
He said there had been recent reports of people not using the High Street crossing, even when it had an attendant on duty.
“No matter what time of day, the crossing is the safest place to cross the highway, even when a guard is not on duty,” Sgt Huismann said.
“Whether young or old, cross at the crossing. The signs are an indication for drivers to take additional care.”
