With fewer children going to school during NSW lockdown orders,
motorists regularly ask what is school zone speed limits during
lockdown.
Media reporting during the lockdown suggested there was
confusion over whether the school zones were still in effect.
This is supported to a degree by data that revealed $30.7
million in fines were handed out with one third of these issued for
school zone offences. This was almost double the amount of revenue
from 2020.
When are school zone times?
School zone times usually operate from 8am to 9:30am and from
2:30-4:00pm on gazetted school days in most NSW areas.
However, in some NSW areas there are non-standard school zone
times which can be identifiable to drivers by red/orange school
zone signs with visible school zone timings.
