Drivers warned as school returns

School zone speed limits are in place again as Term 4 of 2025 commences on Monday 6 October, with drivers on the road in the mornings and afternoons urged to take care as students return to school.

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.
