As Fatz said, the signs are a courtesy and not a legal requirement. They are not a gazetted traffic sign in the road rules 2008 (However the speed limit symbol on the sign is). There is no excemption from a speeding offence in the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Act 1999 if signs arent present.

The only sign legally required to enforce a speed limit apart from the default 50km/h limit (Which requires no signage at all) Is a speed restriction or derestriction sign.

someone who who knoes the law

Hehe. Seen it tried in a few courts. Funnily often referred to as ignorance. Good to watch but ends like every other train smash, Horrifying but you just cant help but look. :santa:

If the matter is proven and you are dealt with by way of a S10 dismissal. If this is the case you can appeal to the RTA to get your points back.

If no prima facie is reached and the matter is dismissed then you retain your points

start of school they will be opperational

simple as that

has school started!!!????

work it out!

i dunno if your post was suppose to be sarcastic......

but if not.....

what we meant by up and running is that... weeks ago.....the 2nd part of the camera...(the smaller Lense) was missing with wires hanging out. and obviously it needs both larger and smaller lense box to work. so visually you can tell its not working.

but recently what i think people are telling us is that they have completed it physically by appearance.

but school hasnt started just yet.....

but the camera is NOT just a School Zone camera...it also works as a Standard Speed Camera depending on the time of day.

so in otherwords.....the other school zone cameras throught NSW currently STILL WORK.... but its just during the schedule during school hours.....since its holidays...it will be a normal speed camera at 60km/h.

so perhaps they got it up and running but obviously they shouldnt snap you at 60km during school times.

that spot with the speed camera we were talking about....thats a pretty easy spot to go over the limit.

Even when they are signposted the RTA will generally have a lead in period where the camera is operational but infringement notices are not issued. This may run for up to 6 weeks and is part of the policy regarding public awareness when installing traffic enforcement cameras.

as i said before they will issued warning letters for teh first month when they are turned on

however if you go threw at 150 dont excpect to get a warning notice

;)

yeah personally i wouldnt risk it at all......

even though the cameras looks very much FULLY operational...due to the fact both cameras are up and the 3 Warning signs towards the cameras are posted...

but the only thing is that the Electronic signs say "commencing soon"

either way i slow down just incase... i tend to think of the worst case scenario.

its not worth it if it just takes you 2 seconds to slow down at that point.

All school zones should have flashing lights to warn drivers to slow down, and now they can have. See www.schoolzonelights.com.au for details. Will put a bit of a dent in the Government's coffers and help make school kids safer.
