School Zone Santa .Com

Well it's Monday afternoon and the school year is two weeks old.

That means that the fancy solar powered, back to base flashing lights that the RTA has had installed at one hundred schools for $7.2 million have been working for 30 hours.

Guess what, this afternoon outside the Mater Dei primary school at Blakehurst, both the North and South flashers on Princes Highway weren't working.

This is my photo of the non working flashing lights heading South, at the corner of King Georges Rd.

I haven't shown the photo of other non functioning unit because it didn't have the handy clock in the picture.

So much for "State of the art".

I'm sure the $350 Olsen lights at Lurgano and Peakhurst,are blinking away quiet happily, even though there has been a shower of rain.

I rang 2GB and Chris Smith said he would ask the RTA why the lights weren't working.
