i think that this is a great idea and hopefully it will help to reduce accidents

i dont think it would make a different because people will still do anything to get through their day. But we should also be teaching our children the safety of crossings. There should be a speeding camera in every main school crossing. my court is terrible i have children running across and adults parking in the bend of the court and im stuck trying to get out of my driveway. my lesson learnt not to live a st over from the school.

I am pretty sure the speed limit is lower than that for school crossings in SA. I think it might be 25

School zones should be blitzed and there should be speed cameras on a permanent basis. If there is a financial penalty maybe people will slow down?

they certainly stand out and I think it is another step closer to reminding parents/drivers about what is at risk if you speed in a school zone – our school zones here in canberra are school zones from 8.30am (i think) right through the day until 4 or 430 pm in the afternoon – sadly though the only time you see cops doing speed checks is either at school drop off or school pick up not during the day when everyone else ignores the signs and speeds through there!

Wouldn’t a whole heap of kids with speed figures on their backs be distracting to drivers and maybe cause an accident?

Any campaign to reduce road accidents should help!

At my kids primary school the stupid parents would call their kids across the road rather than teaching them to use the crossing, start fining the parents for their own stupidity! I am always careful to use the crossings, start teaching children when they are tiny and stop rushing across the roads in front of children!

The problem is that people will become blind to this too. People need to be more aware on the roads.

Its a great initiative but we shouldn’t need it! I wish they would put flashing 40km signs up around schools that the schools can turn on whenever there are kids outside. Those stupid 40km at school times signs do nothing! And I’ll be the first to admit I pay no attention to what the time is when there isn’t a road full of cars dropping kids off to make it obvious. We need something that connects in our brain thats says NOW THERE ARE KIDS AROUND SO SLOW DOWN.
