The petition of residents of the State of Queensland draws to the attention of the House that signalled pedestrian crossings on major roads near primary schools are very dangerous. Vehicles do not always stop at red traffic signals and signals do not always work properly. Young children do have trouble judging speed, do not always concentrate and are oblivious to the real dangers of motor vehicles. In the State of Queensland there is no provision for School Crossing Supervisors (Crossing Guards) to attend signalled pedestrian crossings.
Your petitioners therefore request the House to make available state crossing supervisors for signalled pedestrian crossings on major roads near primary schools.
