school zone speed cameras qld

Queensland uses speed cameras in school zones to keep things sensible where tiny humans and big bumpers collide. Expect posted school zone limits (commonly 40 km/h) to apply only during the signed times on school days; outside those periods, the normal limit returns—so read the sign like it owes you money. Enforcement can be via fixed cameras, mobile camera vehicles, and portable trailer-based cameras introduced for school zones and similar hotspots. Fines and demerit points apply, and yes, a few km/h over can still sting, so lift off early when you see the flashing school signs. Times and locations vary by school, so trust the local signage over your memory from last term. If in doubt, slow down—arriving 30 seconds later beats funding the state’s revenue-raising piggy bank.
