Tipperary parents are being warned to be extra vigilant of children walking on the roads as thousands of students return to school after the summer.
5 pedestrians have been killed on Tipperary's roads so far this year.
As well as children walking to school, Gardaí are also advising parents not to clog up the bus-parking bays in front of the school, instead park a bit away and walk the child into the school.
Inspector Eddie Golden says that the reflective jackets, available from every Garda station, should be worn at all times.
