Legislative Assembly Question No. 577

Police Traffic Patrols - Calwell

Mr Jensen - asked the Attorney General:

Can the Minister advise what if any police activity has been conducted in the vicinity of the Calwell Primary School, Calwell High School and St. Francis of Assisi School and the details of the number of traffic infringement notices or summons have been issued during the last six months and the details of those issued for exceeding the posted speed limits.

Mr Connolly - the answer to the Members question is as follows:

I am advised that the roads around the three schools are covered by police patrols as resources and other priorities allow. Further, any specific complaints received by-police concerning driving or traffic problems are followed up as soon as practicable.

During the period 18 March to 18 September 1991, 26 Traffic Infringement Notices/Summonses were issued to drivers in the vicinity of the schools. Of these, 3 persons were prosecuted for exceeding the 60knVh limit by more than 15 but less than 30km/h, and one person was prosecuted for exceeding the 60knVb limit by more than 30knVb.
