One thing about the fancy expensive flashing lights that the RTA have had installed at 100 schools is that they have a "back to base" feature.
If there is a malfunction the faulty unit in question calls for help.
The faulty flashing light at Blakehurst, has been calling for help for two days now.(that I know of).
The non flashing light (previous page) was inactive both am and pm school zone times today.
How long would it take to get around to repair lights that break down after 2 months if the RTA had to rely on passersby to report faults.
Why does this "state of the art" unit and the similar unit at Taren Point break down after such a short time?
