Travelwise team was very busy this week. But, had some awesome fun with the police and Auckland Transport.
Their first mission of the week to promote safe speeds around schools. We travel to Wordsworth Ave with the police to pull over not only those that were speeding. But, drivers that were going the speed limit and giving them prizes.

The police handed out 4 tickets for speeding. But, they also help parents with knowing how to put children into seat belts correctly.
Our second mission of the week was promoting safe parking around school gates with Auckland Transport and Travelwise team. In the afternoon there is an issue with cars parking on the yellow line or blocking our school gates. It is really unsafe. SO, we were out there giving out prizes to the parents who were making our children safe.
