CAN you spot the flashing speed signs near Inglewood primary school on Crawford Road?

Voice photographer Matthew Dwyer says the 40kph electronic signs are only visible when he’s less than a few metres away.

The signs were installed in June, along with two more sets at Inglewood primary and kindergarten, as a part of a state government roll-out.

Maylands Labor MP Lisa Baker says she’s met with members of the school’s P&C, who are concerned about their placement.

“Something needs to be done to improve the visibility of the signs,” she says. “It’s pretty ridiculous and is not improving safety at the school by very much.

“The local P&C wants them repositioned as well.”

We asked Main Roads about it but it missed our response deadline, saying staff were on holiday.

The Voice contacted Inglewood primary P&C for comment, but they didn’t get back to us.
