This is what's needed
What is needed at King Georges and Edgbaston Beverly Hills is get one of these flashing light units

and put it where this school zone sign is on the right

and I would say that would help with the school zone "speeding" for drivers heading south.
Drivers now just cruise down this divided road after traffic lights change at Morgan st forgetting all about the school zone.
JUST IMAGINE THE NUMBER OF DRIVER THAT WILL BE CAUGHT WHEN THEY TAKE AWAY THE LARGE TRAILER MOUNTED WARNING SIGNS
Now I don't myself always agree with "technical" reasons to get off fines, but if there were no signs where there should have been. Then who's fault is it?
There has to be more 60 signs (because it's 70 both sides of the Beverly Hill shops) and a large set of Flashing lights at Edgbaston steet, I don't think the RTA and ultimatly, Mr Roozendaal would have this problem.
The speed camera doing the damage is on the left hidden in the behind a pole and shop awning, down by the pedestrian (green) traffic light down the road
I wrote to Mr Roozendaal last Tues 4 Sept
Copy of e-mail I sent further down page
This was in the Leader today

A thousand drivers can't ALL be wrong.
I rang Mr Roozendaal's office to make sure that they recieved my e-mail last Tuesday.(4 Sept)
They did.
This what I sent last Tuesday at 8.58 am
Dear Minister,
I would like to bring to your attention a situation at a school zone on King Georges rd. Beverly hills.
There are flashing lights at this zone and now also a new set of speed cameras, but a lot of drivers don't realize that the whole shopping strip is a school zone.
Because it's such a long zone, (.9 klm) can a second warning light unit be added to the school zone sign that's half way, heading South towards Hurstville, similar to the one already on the other side of the road.
Without going on in detail here, my concern about this school zone is explained, with photos, on my web site www.schoolzonesanta.com
Thank you for your time
Yours faithfully
Hans Stephens

How long would it take to add solar powered flashing lights to that sign so that drivers coming down the hill would be reminded, and to put more up 60 kmh signs to help drivers after school zone hours?
I didn't count the North camera this morning as the traffic was so heavy that no one could really exceed 40 kmh.
I watched the south camera and it was very discouraging to see the drivers being flashed like yesterday.
