In NSW, school zone speed limit restrictions operate from 8am to 9.30am and 3pm to 4.30pm weekdays during the school term.
Vehicles must reduce their speed to 40km/h.
While some local schools now have a flashing light system to warn of the change in speed, not all of them have this feature.
So it’s up to you to pay attention to the signs.
Heavy penalties apply for motorists who drive over the speed limit or break other school zone laws.
