South Australian School Zone Speed Limits

South Australia is updating school zone rules from 29 September 2025. Drivers must still follow the 25 km/h rule when children are present, lights flash, or crossing flags are raised. On top of this, certain major roads near schools will have a 40 km/h limit during 8–9:30 am and 2–4 pm on school days. This dual system will roll out to about 150 schools statewide by the end of 2026.
