Adelaide, South Australia, Australia
School zones in South Australia are unique in that a 25km/h speed limit applies when children are present, placing the onus on drivers to identify pedestrians which can often result in low levels of speed limit compliance. Safety can be improved by providing direction and prompting drivers to reduce their speed.
SAGE considered the following to be the main issues:
SAGE Automation designed, built and installed radars to standard school zone signage to detect vehicles approaching the school zone and their speed. A number of ultrasonic pedestrian detection bollards are also used to detect the presence of pedestrians within the school zone.
When pedestrians are detected within the school zone and an approaching vehicle is detected, a variable message sign located below the existing school zone signage will display a message to the approaching driver.
