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 4 commences.

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.

Term 4 ends on Wednesday 20 December for the Christmas break with schools returning at the end of January/start of February 2024.
