School Zone Flashing Lights on Right
Many of the flashing lights in the current 100-school trial have been installed behind trees, poles and bends in the road.
The RTA claims that the lights cannot be installed on the sign on the median strip or right hand side of the road, even when they would be far more visible there, because "someone might look at them and not see a child on the left", and because "road signs are always on the left".
If that is the case then:
1. Why are there 40kmh signs on the right at all?
2. Why were the new flashing lights on King Georges Rd Beverly Hills installed (sensibly) on the right? See attached photo.
