Territory Road Policing - Back To School

The Northern Territory Police Force is reminding all road users to take extra care with students returning to school across the Territory this week.

With an increase in foot, bicycle and vehicle traffic around school zones and surrounding areas, police are urging drivers to slow down, be alert and observe all signage.

Superintendent Rick Magree said, "With students returning to school and several public holidays approaching, it is a timely reminder to be mindful of increased traffic on the roads.

"The Territory Road Policing Division will be maintaining a strong presence on rural and major roads in the coming weeks.

"We will be out across the Top End with pop up Random Breath Test stations and can be Anywhere. Anytime.

"Remember the Fatal Five; Always wear a seatbelt, never get behind the wheel under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, manage fatigue, stick to the speed limit and eliminate distractions."
