The Petition of residents of the State of Queensland draws to the attention of the House the safety problems created by not having a suitable school speed zone on Moggill Road in the vicinity of the Moggill State School. The Department of Main Roads is insisting that 60 km/h is used in other parts of Queensland and is refusing to consider the local circumstances in Moggill. There is no convenient place for parents to dropping of or picking up children and the lack of a footpath and rough ground on the other side of Moggill Road also discouraged use of the pedestrian lights. The petitioners therefore request the House to immediately reduce the speed limit on the state-controlled section of Moggill Road in the vicinity of the Moggill State School to 40 km/h, the same speed as adjacent council school zones.
