Flashing lights would eliminate confusion

It's been an interesting week with the NRMA press release "Flashing lights needed in school zones with highest revenue raising cameras", and the release of the figures of the revenue raised from the cameras.

Out of the top five revenue raisers, three were in school zones, with the Ocean Beach Rd camera in the top 50 at number 47 with $358,353 and the Blackwall Rd camera taking $132,291.

The police commissioner said: If you speed, you get caught. End of story.

This is true, although with school zone cameras flashing at twice the rate of normal fixed cameras, the message must be that there is still a high degree of confusion about variable limits and times.

Flashing light installations at school zones would go along way to eliminating that confusion and provide a safer road environment for all.
