School zones return for Term Three



Drivers on the road in the mornings and afternoons are urged to take care as school zone speed limits are in place again this week as Term Three of the school year commences Monday 21 July.

Drivers are reminded to be patient around school zones as speed limits return and there is an expected increase in road, pedestrian and bicycle traffic at drop-off and pick-up times.

Some school speed zones are permanent, while others operate from 8am to 9.30am, and from 2.30pm to 4pm on weekdays, with reduced speeds of 40km/h or 60km/h in school zones until the end of the school term.
