Transport for NSWThe MPs said in a statement all eligible schools with multiple, busy entrances were consulted in the selection process.
“The new locations...were selected by a risk assessment model which takes into account a number of factors including approach speed, pedestrian numbers, traffic volumes, and heavy vehicle traffic volumes,” the statement said.
“Flashing lights are funded through the Community Road Safety Fund, where all speed and red light camera fines go directly towards vital road safety programs.
“Motorists are reminded that school zones are enforced on government gazetted school days to ensure operation dates and times are consistent and easy to follow.”
