Flashing warning lights were installed on the D’Aguilar Highway near Taabinga State School
in 2014<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

May 24, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

Flashing “school zone” signs will be erected outside Saint Mary’s Catholic College in Kingaroy as part of a $12 million commitment by the State Government to improve road safety around schools.<\/p>\n

Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said the State Government had promised to install an extra 300 flashing signs near schools over the next three years.<\/p>\n

One hundred schools would receive the signs in the latest round of funding.<\/p>\n

Mr Bailey said the flashing signs have been a resounding success since they were introduced in 2011, with more than 600 installed in school zones across Queensland.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents arriving and leaving school can be preoccupied and unpredictable around roads and cars. That\u2019s why we\u2019re committed to improve road safety surrounding schools,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFlashing school lights alert and remind drivers they are entering a school zone and need to slow down.<\/p>\n

\u201cA number of important factors are taken into account when assessing school sites for flashing lights, such as the accident history, traffic volumes, pedestrian movements, the speed limit and visibility.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
