It comes after a crash at the Natimuk Road school crossing in Horsham last week that caused public outcry.

Ss Michael and John's Primary School student well-being leader Louise Chesterfield said drivers often failed to slow down in the school zone on McPherson Street.

"We advise motorists to exercise extra caution around schools because kids do silly things sometimes," she said.

"I know that at times the school and some of our kids have spoken to VicRoads in regards to putting flashing lights on that crossing."

Mrs Chesterfield said the signs were sometimes hard to see.

Horsham College Council president Rowan Smith said it was paramount for drivers to be vigilant near crossings.

"Particularly as we're leading up to Christmas and the like, we ask parents and drivers to take additional care," he said.

"There is a level of common sense needed."

The crash on Natimuk Road was one of five in the Wimmera in two days, including one in Stawell where a woman died.

Horsham Highway Patrol Sergeant John McTaggart urged drivers to slow down and pay attention on the roads.

"Concentrate on your driving, especially around school crossings when school is commencing and concluding for the day," he said.

"Do not use mobile phones and don't be distracted from the most important task you are doing, which is driving."

Horsham Rural City Council chief executive Peter Brown said the number of crashes was concerning.

"We're conscious of our responsibility of designing and maintaining safe roads. We do monitor accidents, as does VicRoads," he said.

Mr Brown said council would examine the causes of the accidents before making any further decisions about safety improvements.

"We've got to be careful. Sometimes incidents happen because of other reasons, such as distraction, and we can't just treat this in isolation," he said.

Horsham Mayor David Grimble said the crashes were a reminder to stay cautious.

"They really are a reminder we need to slow down and take care," he said
