Reeder said, “The community is really concerned about the kid’s safety on the roads especially in Carnation Road where there is a sharp turn to the right into Western Service Road. Oncoming traffic cannot see the children and the children can certainly not see the oncoming traffic.”
She added that the main problems lies in the fact that the pupils who walk on Carnation Road do not walk in single file, but in a large groups impairing their ability to recognise oncoming traffic and putting them in danger.
In addition to explaining about road safety, Reeder brought pink carnations to draw a worthwhile link between the road in question and Mother’s Day which will be celebrated on 10 May.
