Keeping Our Children Safe
Across the Gold Coast District Police are regularly contacted by schools and concerned parents in relation to inappropriate
driving and behaviour’s around school zones. Speed limits, drop-off and pick-up areas and parking rules exist to keep your
children, parents and carers safe. They also help to minimise speed and traffic jams around schools. Whilst we appreciate that
the drop off and pick up is a particularly busy time of day it does not excuse dangerous behaviour that could come with fatal
consequences.
Gold Coast Police are constantly patrolling our school zones. Some of the offences that have been witnessed are, parents
stopping in the middle of the road (double parking) and allowing children to get out of the vehicle, u-turns over double white lines
into on-coming traffic, running red lights, speeding, unrestrained children, and road rage (use of offensive language whilst
children were in the vehicle).
Over the next few weeks you will see an increase in High Visibility Traffic Patrols. We are keeping our roads safe by performing
proactive and targeted traffic enforcement in relation to all school zones on the Gold Coast. So remember the road rules and
don’t break them just to save a few extra minutes. The consequences will be with you for the rest of your life.
Below outlines some of the penalties which apply to traffic offences that are currently occurring within your school zone.
SPEEDING
School zone times have been standardised in Queensland to help motorists remember when to slow down. The standard
operating times for your school zones is 7–9am and 2–4pm.
Speeding
<13km over the speed limit $151 and 1 point
13-20km over the speed limit $227 and 3 points
21-30km over the speed limit $379 and 4 points
31-40km over the speed limit $531 and 6 points
41km and over the speed limit $1062 and 8 points
PARKING
Make sure to take extra care when parking on school grounds and on the roads and streets around the school and follow the
signed parking rules at all times. Remember most schools are around residential areas please be courteous and respectful to
these people by not parking over their driveways.

Stop contrary to flow of traffic $45
Double Parking $45
Stop Contrary to continuous yellow line $45
