Residents near Te Rimu School have asked the council for a safer crossing on Tui Street after several near misses during the morning rush. According to the report, drivers often speed through the intersection when parents are dropping off children. The council said it would review traffic counts and consider adding a raised crossing and clearer signs. A local road safety officer reminded families to use the zebra crossing near the dairy until any changes are made. The article included comments from parents, the school principal, and the council, giving a balanced account of the issue.
