"A quarter of NSW schools are set to have the lights installed by the end of the year, with more than 740 flashing light school zones covering more than 900 schools on the cards."

"A quarter of NSW schools will have flashing lights"

So its taken since 1998 when school zones were introduced to get a quarter of schools done.

If the RTA had taken a common sense approach they would have used the Peter Olsen

style of flashing light units, and and for the money they spent ($13 million) on the dragon teeth

triangles painted on roads in school zones, every school could have had flashing lights, but no, it's the super dooper over-engineered overpriced units RTA back to base monitoring fault reporting preferred units ( that still took over a week to repair, and then only when the breakdowns reported on the Alan Jones show on 2Gb)

that are being dribbled out.

And how many flashing lights per school?

Some schools have zones with multiple entry points.

For example there should olso be flashing lights for drivers in Lily st Hurstville to help make drivers aware of the school zone before they turn right onto Forest road, where just up the road is a speed camera to catch the unwary.

Drivers that "speed" after coming out of Lily st also endanger children, so a flashing light unit would therefore improve road safety.

The average driver doesn't mind slowing down at school zones, but need to know when it's school zone time.

At 5 to 8 you can do 60/70/ or whatever, but do that speed at at 8.05, then you can loose your license.

How many other school zones need more than just a set at either end on the main road?
