Now it seems there are more parents/carers (who *should* be able to look out for themselves near a road?) and children (why are they there?) outside those hours, seemingly necessitating the all-day speed curfew.

No mention of the impact on the road toll, before 40km zones were implemented or after the permanent limit is in place. Lots of talk about fines though. And the council guy says they are concerned about cost to change the signs. It's all about the money folks. Ben

Police issued fines to motorists caught travelling at almost 70km/h in school zones during traffic operations in Warwick and Bunbury on Tuesday. Earlier this month, a 44-year-old car salesman was sacked after he was caught driving at 101km/h in a 40km/h zone. But, was he sacked for going 101 kph through a 40 kph zone or was he sacked because he was doing 101 kph in a car which might not have been his own, maybe giving it a squirt up the road to see how it went,. Also, what time of the day was he caught going 101 kph? 3 pm, or 3 am ?
