flag ACT speed signs below national height standard spark legal challenge over fine validity and child safety.

flag ACT school zone speed signs are 1.5 meters tall, below the national 2-meter standard, to avoid requiring ladders for operation and reduce safety risks. flag The hinged signs are manually opened and closed by staff. flag A resident challenged a $363 speeding fine, arguing the non-compliant signs may invalidate thousands of penalties and compromise child safety. flag The ACT government maintains the design is safer and more practical, while critics note other regions use illuminated signs for better visibility. flag The territory is also considering raising the speed limit from 20km/h to 40km/h during school hours.
