To modify and improve driver behaviour in the vicinity of the school; 3. To streamline traffic flow and improve local amenity; 4. Integrated with the current primary school leadership curriculum, to allow senior primary school students to observe and make recommendations on their findings, relating to road safety for themselves and their younger peers; 5. To provide a forum at which these school leaders can discuss issues and broadcast their findings and recommendations in the school newsletter and through other appropriate channels; 6. To prepare years 5 and 6 students for further road safety education such as the young drivers programs offered in high school This article is based on a review, conducted in May 2007, after some nine weeks of operation of the trial scheme.
