Near Schools.

Drive slowly and be particularly aware of young cyclists and pedestrians. In some places, there may be a flashing amber signal below the “School” warning sign which tells you that there may be children crossing the road ahead. Drive very slowly until you are clear of the area.

You MUST stop when school crossing patrol shows a “Stop” for children sign."
So as soon as you see a zebra crossing, school crossing patrol or authorised traffic controller ahead get ready to click your mouse button as soon as the potential hazard starts to develop.

In the real world you would take action as soon as you recognise the potential hazard even if it was just to check your mirrors to see what was behind.
