4. 40km/h Signs Not Opposite Each Other

At the following school zones the 40km/h signs on each side of the road are not opposite each other. The numbers in brackets indicate how far out of alignment they are. (SB=southbound etc.)

What is the speed limit in the area between the two signs during school zone hours?




Bonds Rd Peakhurst



Seven Hills Rd Seven Hills


At the town of Caniaba, west of Lismore, there is an even more confusing situation. The painted 40 sign on the road is 227m before the "School Zone" signs themselves. It is co-located with two "School Zone Ahead" signs.

What speed limit applies on that 227m stretch of road during school zone hours?
