NEW SCHOOL ZONE SIGNS

The Queensland Government remained committed to ensuring the safety of students ravelling to and from schools and will install flashing school zone signs (FSZS) in 100 school zones across Queensland, during the 2024-25 financial year. It gives me great please to advise the New Farm State School will be receiving these signs in the Annie Street school zone and the Beeston Street/Kingsholme Street school zone. Installation of FSZS at New Farm State School will improve visibility of the school zone and serve as an active reminder for motorists to slow down when children are out and about. Several important factors are considered when assessing school zones for flashing lights, such as crash history, traffic volumes, pedestrian movements, the speed limit and visibility. This ensures FSZS are delivered to priority sites across Queensland. FSZS have been a success since the program was introduced in 2012. Since then, FSZS have been installed at more than 1390 Queensland school zones.
