So... you could set up AFTER the school zone monitoring traffic in it? How many of your tickets were issued to drivers passed the school grounds but before the second sign?
I have never seen on the back of a school zone sign "Zone ends".
Let's recap:
- 147-1 states that a driver must not exceed 30km/hr while approaching or passing the school grounds
- 147-1 does not define the end point of a school zone as being the other sign, nor does it make reference to not exceeding the limit "at any point" between the signs
- The case I referenced clearly states:
"One might have thought that having set a 30 km/h zone with a beginning and an end, the section would have clearly set a maximum speed of 30 km/h while driving in any part of the zone. But it does not so state. A vehicle is only required to drive at a speed of 30 km/h in the zone while approaching or passing the school building and school grounds."
- The MoTI's handbook on sign placement states that the general rule is to locate signs on the right hand side of the roadway, except in circumstances where visibility would be problematic or road design makes it advantageous to place them on the left side - even then, the "printed" side of the sign would be visible to the driver.
