SLOW DOWN TO KEEP OUR CHILDREN SAFE I urge motorists to take the foot off the pedal and slow down to 40 km/h in school zones as schools resume this week. From today, school is back and it is vitally important motorists slow down to 40km/h between 8am and 9.30am and from 2.30pm to 4pm on all gazetted school days. If a vehicle hits a pedestrian at 50km/h it is twice as likely to cause a fatality as the same vehicle travelling at 40km/h, which is why school zone speed limits are so important. Schools have prominent signs and road markings reminding drivers children are about. The Baird Liberal Nationals Government is helping motorists protect our greatest asset, our children, by honouring its commitment to deliver flashing lights to every school by the end of 2015. Today sees the Penrith community commence the school year with brand new flashing lights at every school in its local government area. More information about the flashing lights program is available at roadsafety.transport.nsw.gov.au
