School Zones – Understanding the signs and penalties

There are many ways you can help keep our children safe around school - correct use of the Kiss and Drop zones, slowing down to 40 km per hour in school zones and parking legally.

 

School zones operate between 8:00am-9:30am and 2:30pm-4:00pm on school days, including pupil free days. The speed limit is 40km in all school zones.

 

Remember infringements notices and penalties apply for illegally parking in school zones and for driving over the speed limit.
