South street Kogarah
When I first stood in my Santa suit at the Kogarah school zone and waved my sign (Dec '04)I could see that South st entry to that school zone was a problem

Drivers sit at the lights waiting for the lights, then turn right accelerate and flash.
As you turn right your attention is on turning right,looking at at getting around the centre medium strip, not on the school zone.
What is needed there opposite South st is a school zone sign facing South st with... you guessed it,..... "Flashing lights," to remind drivers waiting at the lights of the zone.
How many drivers have been caught after visiting patients at the hospital there and are thinking of a sick friend or relative while waiting for a green.
I have mentioned South st before,

Today a customer, a local Kogarah businessman told me he had been caught by the camera recently after coming out of South st.
I will email and see if I can at least get a sign facing South st installed there.
If drivers continue to "speed" there it must continue to be a road safety issue for the school kids.
