School’s back for another year, so that means 40 zones are in effect in the morning and afternoons.
From 7am – 9am, and from 2pm – 4pm you cannot exceed 40km/h in a school zone. Some schools that have more than one campus will have all-day school zones to keep kids safe.
Whether you’re doing the school run, or just driving through – make sure you stay even more alert around schools and pay attention to the lollipop ladies (and gentlemen).
