(d) Main Roads has not requested extra funding to install painted road markings around all schools.

As a consequence, Main Roads has developed a policy for installation of School Zone pavement markings on roads, where: · The road has a speed limit greater than the Built Up Area 50 km/h default speed limit outside of the School Zone times, or · The road is a District Distributor road and has an annual average daily traffic volume greater than 5 000 vehicles per day. Main Roads has an on-going program to install these pavement markings under the above criteria and funds these works from its annual Traffic and Safety budget. This policy means that not all roads around schools will be treated with speed pavement markings.
