### Safety Impact

Research shows flashing school zone signs reduce the number of motorists exceeding the speed limit by more than 10 km/h by 45 per cent. These signs are being rolled out to 100 high-risk school zones to improve safety for children travelling to and from school.

### Speeding in School Zones

In 2024, 12,384 infringement notices were issued across Queensland for speeding in 40 km/h school zones. More than 63 school-aged children were injured in crashes within school zones, and around 30 of these children required hospitalisation.

### Selection of School Zones

The locations for the new signs were chosen based on:

- Crash history
- Pedestrian activity
- Traffic volume
- Speed limits
- Visibility concerns
- Feedback from school communities
