[edit] School zones

In the ACT, the school zone limits are from 8am-4pm inclusive, but I believe other places do this differently?

In NSW there is a morning (8am-10am) and an afternoon (2:30pm - ??) "session" for school zones. That is, during the middle of the day it is the same speed limit as it is at 6pm.Garrie 04:10, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
Qld is similar to NSW as described above. WikiTownsvillian 04:33, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unlimited Roads

But what for the Unlimited roads at least found in Northern NSW? Roads like the Lions Road (between Rathdowney & Kyogle), and some roads out from the pacific highway to places such as Woorim have an unlimited sign with the advisory 'Drive to Suit Conditions.' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.31.189.250 (talk) 13:27, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

If you can find a reliable source (e.g. a piece of legislation etc.) saying that there's any unlimited roads in NSW (or anywhere in Australia now) feel free to insert the information. However, in the meantime I'd advise you to look into the matter (especially if you drive on Lions Road and think it unlimited), I'm sure you'll find that Lions Road is just derestricted (i.e. the default speed limits still apply).Jgillett (talk) 09:56, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
There are no unlimited roads in Australia. The Northern Territory was the only location in Australia who had unlimited roads but now has a default limit of 130 KM/h Bidgee (talk) 10:42, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
