Over the next four years the Cook Government will invest $10 million to expand the 40km/h school zone speed limit to all warden crossings across the state.
Right now, there are 165 warden crossings that fall outside of the 40km/h school zone - just like the one on Riseley Street in Ardross.
These wardens crossing form a critical part of the journey to school for so many kids and should be treated the same as a typical 40km/h school zone.
The $10 million investment will allow us to install the necessary signage around these 165 warden crossings - making the school journey safer for kids, families and our wardens.
I am proud to share that the following schools in Bateman will benefit from this $10 million investment:
- Ardross Primary School and Applecross Senior High School will see the Riseley Street speed reduced;
- St Benedict's School will have the speed on Bombard Street reduced;
- Booragoon Primary School will have the speed reduced on both Marmion Street and Norma Road; and
- Kardinya Primary School will see reduced speeds at two crossing locations on North Lake Road, near Le Souef Drive and South Street, near Pinewood Avenue.
