This morning I added a yellow safety vest over my santa jacket so I would be noticed and slowed down lots and lots of cars to help the RTA make the road safer for the school kids.
It has been pointed out to me though, that by me slowing the cars, they don't get caught by the nearby speed camera.
Crikey that means that the RTA/GOV must be losing thousands and thousands of dollars because I can see the no 2 camera up the road flashing like a coach load of Japanese tourists at a koala santuary,and very few drivers get past me breaking the law.
The two speed cameras average about the same revenue.
$3.5 and $3.2 million in 12 months, (2003/2004 RTA figures)
But then speed cameras aren't about the money are they?
Seriously, one thing I might suggest, is to erect a safety fence along the Eastern footpath because when school does come out even 40 klms is too fast and the footpath gets very congested and a bit of innocent sky larking could have tragic consequences.
WE NEED SCHOOL ZONES, BUT WE NEED SCHOOL ZONES WITH FLASHING LIGHTS!!
