Mr Cornwell - asked the Minister for Urban Services:

What action has been taken on the review to improve traffic safety measures at Floret Primary School following accidents in August.

Mr Connolly - the answer to the Members question is as follows:

The Traffic and Roads Section carried out an investigation of pedestrian safety atFlorey Primary School during August and September 1992. Several proposed new measures were discussed with, and endorsed by, the Floret Primary School Board and the Parents and Citizens Association.

School crossings have been provided on Ratcliffe Crescent (in front of the school), and on Kesteven Street (between the school and the underpass further along Ratcliffe Crescent).

The Road Safety Unit visited the school in October 1992 and provided .all classes with lessons on the correct use of the crossings.

Additional footpath links to the underpass on Kesteven Street have been constructed. Footpath connections to the underpass on Kraft Street will be in place by the end of November 1992.

The Traffic and Roads Section will continue to monitor traffic conditions in the vicinity of the school to ensure that the new facilities are operating satisfactorily.
