Australians only - speed limits in school zone during the holidays?
|
I pass through a school zone every day. The speed limit in it is 40km/h during school hours.
As it is the school holidays right now, and therefore technically not 'school hours', does the limit still apply?

toohardbasket - don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about it (I have a kid myself). However, when I slow down for the zone people behind me beep their horn, flash their lights and treat me to the finger. I have no desire to break the law for them, or help them break the law, hence my question.

The school zone speed limits don't apply on school holidays and weekends.
The 40km/h limit does apply there is are permenant speed limit signs around some school zones.

whatever the speed is before school zone is the same speed zone through school zone when its not a holidays but check with your traffic judge |

I'd check with the local police. Don't know Australian laws but in the US school holidays are NOT considered to be school hours. |

Yes. And you shouldn't be complaining about it, if you tend to find every single time out of it you'll obviously get a habit, and drive fast through there all the time.
There's a reason, and thats to not endanger little kids lives. |

I have always wondered this myself...
I figure it isn't officially school hours so slowing down isn't going to save any lives... but the signs are still there.
Hmmmm
I wouldn't go through at 100 clicks but I don't think there's a cop out there policing those areas during school holidays.
To be 100% sure call your local police station and ask them. |

yes it does. you will notice signs that read 'when children present'. that means no matter what day or time it is as long as there are children present, either on the footpath or in direct sight, you have to obey those speed limits. |

Yes. Rules are rules and they still apply for any situations. So the answer is yes. |

i dont think so
the limit's only there to protect the kids and there's no kids there so therefore there should be no 40km/h limit |
