School Zone Santa .Com

What speed is it here?

We drove back from the southcoast yesterday, very glad to be in an airconditioned car as it was nearly 44 celcius outside.

There were so many cars parked with overheating problems on the way back I regreted that I didn't have extra water on board to help a even a little.

Not knowing what speed is allowed where, is still a nightmare

I think the many differing speed zones must be there to keep drivers alert.

At one point, all of a sudden there was a sign saying speed camera 80 and before you know it, there was the camera. I think/hope we got through unscathed, time will tell.

We didn't see a change of speed from 100 and I/we can't imagine missing the normal 3 speed camera warning signs.(Mrs Santa helps me drive)

A lady customer this morning has just finished a 12 month probation. She went through the Kogarah school zone twice on a double demerit day and when she wrote in, the RTA "forgot" to tell her that because of her unblemished driving record, she could have had an offical warning for the first offence and copped the 2nd.

She was given the the choice of a 3 month's cancellation or twelve months good behaviour.

Why would anyone drive through a school zone that has all the warning signs and road markings and two cameras get caught twice in one day?

Because just signs doesn't seem to work

Maybe flashing lights would make drivers aware of WHEN it's school zone time.

Haven't seen anything about the results of the "independant" appraisal of the RTA's "flashing light" trial which finished end of LAST June.

How long to state the bleeding obvious, and at what cost?

Every time I drive South on the highway at Sylvania Heights I can't help but see two flasing lights which help advertise a car battery business.

Why wouldn't "flashing lights" work at school zones to attract attention.

Lights flashing means it's school zone time and 40klms and no flashing lights it's the normal safe speed.
