Belconnen, ACT, Feb. 2 -- ACT Policing issued the following media release:
ACT Policing is reminding Canberrans to slow down in school zones as children return to the classroom.
With the school term starting this week, 40km/h speed limits will be in effect across all ACT school zones.
In 2025, ACT Policing issued 264 fines and 47 cautions to drivers caught speeding in school zones, including one driver who was caught travelling at 89km/h.
The Kaleen woman, who was 44 at the time, was issued with a $2,136 fine and her licence was suspended for six months.
ACT Policing Detective Superintendent of Road and Proactive Policing Alex Nicolson said the speed limit in school zones gave motorists extra time to stop in an unexpected situation.
