Changes to school zone speed limits on roads in Sydney's Hills District
Speed limits along a number of roads in the Sydney Hills District are changing and will now have different rules at certain times of the day.
Parts of Lakefront Crescent, Red Gables Hill, Fontana Drive and Cataract Road, all in Box Hill, will now be subject to school zone speed limits.
This is due to Santa Sophie College Catholic College relocating to its new campus in Box Hill.
Below are the exact details of the speed limit changes.
