School Zone Santa .Com

I wrote on the 30 March, 11 April and the 19th of May about Peter of Lurgano who has made up sets of simple orange flashing lights.

These lights are great and he did a very professional job at a fraction of the cost of the RTA's Super dooper ones.

Last weekend he put them on the school zone signs at four schools.

Monday morning at 8 am they came on to warn drivers that it was school zone time, even though it was a "pupil free day".

I heard about it on 2GB and went to have a look.

I parked approaching a sign with the lights flashing away and watched as cars passed me and the ones that weren't already at 40 kmh braked when they saw the lights, evident by the fact that their brake lights came on.

Not long after 3 pm the RTA arrived in 4 trucks and took the lights down.

I overheard the reason was, that they "defaced" the sign and the wiring wasn't to Aus. standards.

Tuesday morning Peter put up a set of lights watched by Radio and 2 TV teams.

Tues PM The Telegraph, The Leader, Channel 10 and 7 were there.

At 3.45pm the RTA arrived and Peter was told that it was an illegal operation and to take them down.

As the lights were now not on an RTA sign, and therefore nothing to do with the RTA he declined, and an RTA gentleman took them down anyway.

As you can see the lights are simple.
They of course look better on the sign

This the RTA telling Peter of his illegal operation before he ordered his men to take down the lights.

WHAT NEXT?
