South st reminder needed
One of the problems with school zones with flashing lights is that not all entry points to the school zones are covered by the lights.
I pointed that out in 2007 at the Princes Highway kogarah school zone.

South st at Kogarah was and is a concern, how many drivers who turn right onto the Princes Highway forget that it's a school zone while waiting for a green light, maybe distracted after visiting a friend in hostpial, or after seeing a doctor themselves
As drivers turn right watching out for the center fence and entering lanes the sign on the side is angled away from them and is easily missed. (but the speed camera doesn't miss.)
A simple cheap reminder would be to have a sign facing them from across the road, as the drivers have at Phillip st Blakehurst.(below)
I'll email the Road Minister thanking him for the help with Beverly Hills and mention a sign for South st.
