Gippsland police are warning motorists to slow down around schools as students return from holidays this week.

Speed limits of 40 kilometres per hour are back in force around schools at peak times.

Acting Sergeant Andy Milbourne, from the highway patrol, says motorists need to drive carefully around schools, because young children can be unpredictable.

"A lot of younger kids tend to dart in and out of cars and they're not as road wise when it comes to having the knowledge of how fast cars go and where they can go," he said.

"So drivers just need to be on their mettle and just make sure that they are keeping a keen eye out for kids darting in and out of cars as well."
