Cars go through school crossings

Parish halls can prosecute drivers who do not obey school patrols

Motorists in Jersey are being reminded that they face being prosecuted if they drive through school crossing patrols.

Patrol staff at La Moye School say they have seen a rise in cars trying to drive through the crossing while children are on it in recent months.

They have also reported some drivers shouting abuse at them. School head teachers have also raised concerns.

Police said patrols had a legal right to stop traffic. Parish halls can prosecute drivers who do not obey.
