I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. (1) The full installation program for 2011–12 will be announced in the coming weeks. (2)–(3) Refer to (1). (4) Priority is typically given to those locations that have the greatest potential hazard, such as multi-lane roads, speed limits of 60 kilometres per hour or greater, or other site-specific characteristics. It needs to be remembered that there are more than 530 school zones in the metropolitan area alone. This year’s program will bring the total number of sites treated to 76. It is acknowledged that the program has a way to go. (5) Locations are selected on criteria as outlined in (4) above.
