BE RESPONSIBLE WHEN PARKING/DRIVING AROUND OUR SCHOOL

It's time to remind everyone about how to be a responsible member of the Zayed College for Girls driving community.

Yesterday a parent turned right into Westney Road from our driveway cutting off oncoming traffic. From that hasty decision, it caused a series of disturbing events involving our pedestrian students.  

Our combined attention to traffic safety and ongoing courtesy for other drivers is what ensures that all of our children get to school and home safe and happy. The safety of our children is everybody's responsibility and we need everyone in our school community doing all that they can to keep all of our children safe. 

If you've let your driving habits slip lately, or if you are guilty of any of the poor driver choices mentioned above - it's time to do better. For everyone's sake.

Pedestrian Road Safety

Students should exercise extra caution when crossing streets. The only time cars need to give way to pedestrians is at a zebra crossing. However you are still advised to look both ways and only cross when cars have completely stopped before using a zebra crossing.

Pedestrian Refuge Islands are not zebra crossings.  The pedestrian "right of way" is non-existent so students should not assume that drivers will watch out for them. Double check for traffic looking right, left and right again before you step onto the road. Cross (only if safe to do so) until you reach the refuge island in the middle of the road. Double check for traffic from your left, right and left before you proceed to cross the rest of the road and vice versa when coming to school.

   

Students have been dashing out in front of cars without looking, veering to the left or right when leaving the island, students are to use the footpath entry/ exit on both sides of the road. A to C or vice versa. Parents please encourage your daughters to practice Pedestrian Road Safety.  

Crossing The Road Safely

• Do not play or use gadgets like phones or gaming devices. 
• Keep your head up and your phone down while crossing the street.
• Do not wear your headphones or earpods. This is to ensure that you remain alert to potential danger.  
• Always use pedestrian crossings, if not available, walk in a single file if you are walking in a group, always face oncoming traffic.
• Raise a hand while crossing to alert motorists.
• Use footpaths and other walkways whenever possible.
• Do not cross in front of a stationary vehicle and in between stationary vehicles.
• BE SEEN, BE SAFE - carry some reflective materials so that drivers can see you from a distance.
