A-C Keating said school zones were now fully operational with speed limits reduced during marked drop-off and pick-up times.
“Extra police will be enforcing speed limits in school zones across Queensland,” Assistant Commissioner Keating said. “Police will also be enforcing important road rules such as stopping at childrens’ crossings and giving way to pedestrians.”
“Queensland motorists should expect police to be out in force in school zones throughout this week targeting drivers and riders who are putting others at risk near schools.
“I encourage everyone to be patient in and around school zones, pay attention to the changed speed zones and allow extra travel time on journeys which incorporate these areas where there will be extra traffic.”
