(B) The Western Australia Police Force is unable to provide a response to this question as children's crossings are not flagged automatically in police systems. It is not possible to conduct a manual review to determine whether speeding offences occurred at or adjacent to a children’s crossing within a school zone. The below table is infringements issued for exceeding the speed limit in a school zone, where the offence occurred or the infringement was issued between 01 July 2023 and 06 October 2024.
