⚠️ Pedestrian Safety Reminder ⚠️

At this time of year, please take extra care if you're walking along Clarence Town Road on the outskirts of town - towards Raymond Terrace.

The morning sun can be extremely bright and shines directly into the eyes of drivers just before Cemetery Road, making it much harder to see pedestrians.

If you're out enjoying a beautiful morning walk, we kindly ask that you:
🚶 Stay as far off the edge of the road as it is safe to do so.
👕 Wear bright or reflective clothing where possible.
👀 Stay alert and be aware that drivers may have reduced visibility.

To our drivers, please also take extra care, slow down where appropriate, and keep an eye out for walkers.

A little extra caution from everyone will help keep our community safe. ❤️
