We need "Flashing lights" at all variable speed zones
The idea to slow down drivers outside schools is great, but in practice doesn't work.The problem as I see it, is that people can't get used to the times and the signs just don't stand out.
Which is hard to believe,because of their size.
The RTA must also think there is a problem because they still think it necessary to advertise on radio and put up up warning messages on their computer signs above roadways. Can you think of any new road rule that is advertised 3-4 years after implementation?
We had a new " merge" rule brought in , did you see any advertising about that . No because it's a rule that makes sense. If you only had to obey the "merge" rule between certain times Then see what would happen.
So to draw attention to school zones I decided to help the RTA to slow down drivers for the childrens safety. Obviously I would choose the worst "black Spot " at Kogarah ,to help the RTA because 49,500 drivers were fined $6.5 million there in 200/2004(RTA figures)
All these drivers (at school zone times )are endangering children.
This morning the mood was casual, but the pace quickened in the afternoon school zone time, and (I by myself) slowed about 130 cars today What's $143 X 130
I made a second sign today ,so Graham (santa's helper) should be there to slow the naughty people on the other side of the road tomorrow.
