Aberdeen primary pupils have teamed up with police to highlight speeding concerns.
The children at Woodside school have become junior road safety officers for the six-week duration of the Speedwatch campaign and are helping to educate drivers caught speeding along Clifton Road.
The campaign is an extension of a pilot scheme that took place in Tillydrone last year and involved Riverbank School.
Head teacher Alison Cook said: “We are keen to help to improve road safety around Woodside School and see this as a very important project.
“We are delighted that the children have been asked to take part and hope that their involvement will highlight to any driver that they need to pay attention to their speed.”
Council education convener John Wheeler said: “I’m delighted to see our schools working in partnership with Police Scotland on such an important issue in an initiative which could save lives.”
Sergeant Richard Roach of the Tillydrone community policing team said: “I would remind those who do the school run to not obstruct driveways, and do not park on zig zag lines next to schools.
“Speeding is always a top concern in any community especially near schools. Drivers should always drive cautiously near schools and slow down.”
