A" Clayton's "flashing light school zone
There are Flashing lights on the North and South ends on the Princes Hwy at the Kogarah School zone but there are three other busy roads leading into the school Zone.
This morning School zone santa and two of santa's helpers, Alex and Ron went to the Kogarah school zone to monitor the traffic on the first day of the new school year.
In the SZ time 8.00am - 9.30am I counted 332 cars, vans and buses coming into the school zone out of South St.
These vehicles don't have flashing lights to warn them.
.........................
Ron counted 56 truck and vans and 1630 cars coming out of Rocky Pt Rd. entering the school zone.
There are no flashing lights for them.
............................
Alex's figures for vehicles coming out of President Ave was 780 vehicles
Those drivers also don't have the benefit of Flashing lights.
.......................
There were 2.798 drivers this morning who might not have known it was school zone time
President Ave, South st. and Rocky Pt. Rd. also need flashing lights.
I'll go to President Ave this afternoon to see how many come into the school zone between 2.30 pm - 4.00 pm school time.

Update
This afternoon between 2.30 pm - 4.00pm school zone time , I counted 2,111 vehicles coming into the Kogarah school zone on President Ave Kogarah coming up from Brigton lee Sands.
All they have to warn the drivers that it's school zone time, is road markings and a sign hidden by a tree.
HOW MANY VEHICLES DOES IT TAKE TO RUN OVER A CHILD?
Well done RTA
