Residents along the Windellama Road are fearful a tragedy is waiting to happen because of speeding motorists and a lack of adequate space for their children to stand at the roadside once they get off the school bus.

Lauren Firth said she has been fighting for roadside improvements out there for years, to no avail.

"My main issue is there is no room at the side of the road and no bus shelter, so my kids have to stand at the side of road while speeding motorists fly past," she said.

"The bus drops the kids off and they have maybe 1m of space to stand in.

"In summer they are stepping off into snakes. That has happened a couple of times. There have been some close calls.

"People are over-taking each other out here doing 120-130km/h."

Frustrated, she took to social media and noticed many along the road joined her chorus, including concerned bus drivers.

"We are the first drop off, but it is the same all along the Windellama Rd. It is a big coach that goes to Windellama and it is packed with children," she said.

"I sometimes stand here, screaming like a banshee at cars to slow down.

"I have been to (Member for Goulburn) Wendy Tuckerman and the council to try and get something done about it. It seems quite a lot of laws in relation to road safety have been overlooked here. The transport laws state there has to be 8m clearing and clear signage for school bus drop offs."

Her neighbour, David Smithson, agreed.

"I am very concerned about the kids out here," he said.

"I will have a young one going to school soon and I don't like the idea of him standing here.

"Even to get better signage would be a start because there is nothing except for a sign about 1km north and there is a crest in the road before coming down here and the cars fly over that crest.

"I'd actually like to see a pullover lane over there and also a shelter and signage."

Meanwhile, Mrs Tuckerman responded to questions from the Goulburn Post about the issue.

She said her office distributed information last week detailing funding available for Community Road Safety Grants.

Two categories of grants are available: one for smaller projects with up to $5000 available for each idea and another for more substantial projects, worth up to $30,000.

"Ms Firth attended my office with her concerns regarding safety of this road and for rural school children catching buses," Mrs Tuckerman said.

"I have deliberated on the matter in detail and raised Ms Firth's concerns with the local police and the council.

"I have requested a police presence to detect and discourage the dangerous behaviours around school buses on country roads.

"I have referred the issues to also be investigated by Goulburn Mulwaree Council's Traffic Committee, highlighting the need for adequate space and shelter on the shoulder for children to have appropriate refuge from traffic."
