School Zone Santa .Com

I have been at the Kogarah variable /school zone for three weeks now helping the RTA slow down traffic for the childrens safety.
By slowing the cars down to the legal speed they coincidentally don't get caught by the speed camera.

In 20003/2004 49,500 drivers did get caught and paid $6.5 million in fines. (RTA Figures)

Obviously to have this number of drivers caught speeding at this site with all the signage and road markings ,something is not working and childrens lives are in danger.

Drivers are not aware of school zone times,and what is needed are
" flashing lights ". When the lights are flashing it's school zone time and when they're not flashing, it's the normal posted speed.

Flashing lights are being "trialed" at other school zones but for some reason the highest grossing (in fines )speed cameras in NSW aren't included.

Some reason, or is it $6.5 million reasons?

I have e mailed Mr Costa, the new transport minister to come and have a look at the kogarah school zone and he is "looking" at the issues I've raised, and will get back to me "as soon as possible"

The solution is simple put up flashing lights and all the good drivers WILL slow down, and double the fines for those who don't.

In the meantime I will stay and wave my sign and all the passing motorists can snigger with me at the RTA/GOV.

This is the third week this year, so everyone can see that my protest is serious.

The lost revenue is nothing to the RTA/GOV but the embarrassment of me still being here, that could be a little more irksome.

Please pass on the web site and comments are most welcome
