Default Victorian School Zones

After travelling around after lunch today, which is shortly after 2:30pm I just got thinking about school zones, as I live the other side of town taking me through three school zones to and from work.

What are everyones thoughts on Victoria's School Zones? Should they be like the ACT, and last all day, should they be shortened? What should be the normal non-school time speed limit?

I'm for the 'all day' school zone idea, it elminates that factor of "but my clock says 2:25pm officer" and elminates any people dodging around it, if your not doing 40 through there then you deserve to be nabbed.

On the other hand these are proper main raods that have 5-6 sets of school zones on them, and 40 all day may cause traffic issues.

Last thing, is one road i'm talking about is 70, then you hit 40. Thats a 30kms drop, should there be better signage or a "slow down" area just after the signs? Should it only be 60 before? Even drop 70->50->40??
