If you are driving through the hills in the mornings and afternoons, then you are urged to take care as school zone speed limits are in place again this week as Term 2 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.

School zone limits will not be in place on Anzac Day because of the public holiday but some roads may be closed for marches and services.

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.
