Warning on speed cameras

Member for Peats Ms Marie Andrews is alerting residents to the enforcement of 40km school zones on Pupil Free Days, with both Peninsula speed cameras operating on January 28.

"Many residents may not be aware that Friday January 28 is a gazetted school day by the Department of Education and Training," Ms Andrews said.

"Even though only teachers are to attend our public schools on this day, the 40km zone is still in force."

The Peats electorate has three speed cameras in school zones and two of those are on the Peninsula, at Blackwall Rd and Ocean Beach Rd.

Ms Andrews said the RTA would be conducting a Statewide radio campaign on January 27 and 28 to alert motorists, but is urging residents to ensure they are aware of the speed limit.

"Because the Pupil Free Day falls on a Friday this term, many residents may not be expecting to have to adhere to the 40km speed limit," said Ms Andrews.
