It’s time to send another reminder about school zones after more motorists were intercepted this week for speeding.
School zones are predominantly 40km/h zones, although in some areas we have 60km/h signed school zones.
We ask all motorists to be aware as they approach a school to check and observe the relevant speed required.
Some of the Traffic Infringement Notices issued on January 25 were:
