Victoria Police will be out enforcing speed limits in school zones this morning following a horror month on the state’s roads.
There were 40 deaths statewide in September compared with 28 for the same month last year.
It means September was the deadliest month so far this year ahead of April which had 26 deaths.
Thirty-eight pedestrians have died on Victoria’s roads this year, the latest figures show, with twice the number of pedestrians fatalities on a Monday than any other day of the week.
For pedestrians aged 0-17 aged there were 305 recorded collisions in the last recordable 12-month period, with most collisions between the hours of 8:00-9:00am and 3:00-4:00pm.
The shocking data comes today as Victoria Police urge everyone to take extra care when travelling around school zones as children return to school this week.
