Currently, there's no set, nationwide speed limit when it comes to travelling around schools in New Zealand.
The limits vary from place to place causing confusion for drivers and safety concerns for parents.
But a new Government proposal could change that, with the aim to reduce speed limits around urban and rural schools.

Saturday marks Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day and pressure is mounting on the New Zealand Government to formally acknowledge the mass killings which began in 1915.
No New Zealand Government has ever officially recognised the genocide, over fears Turkey, which committed the atrocities, will ban Kiwis from visiting the Gallipoli battlefields.

A Kiwi Uighur says the Government isn't doing enough to help families whose loved ones have disappeared into one of China's detention camps.
China has detained more than a million people in camps in the country's northwest, according to international estimates, in what it claims is for reduction and combating terorrism. Some Western nations, including Canada and the US, have labelled it a genocide. New Zealand is not yet amongst them.

Foreign Affairs Minister Nanaia Mahuta is holding off following British MPs in declaring China's treatment of the Uighur people as a genocide, saying she'd like to know more first.
UK's House of Commons on Friday (NZ time) voted to recognise what is going on in Xinjiang, in China's northwest, as a genocide.
"All five criteria of genocide are evidenced as taking place in Xinjiang," said Conservative Party MP Nus Ghani, including "brutal torture methods, including beatings with metal prods, electric shocks and whips" as well as forced birth control.
The UK Parliament's vote comes after the US and Canada declared the Chinese dictatorship's actions as genocide.

There might be thousands of Kiwis out there who've had COVID-19 without even realising it, or could be suffering ongoing effects without knowing that's the cause, researchers say.
A study published earlier this week found eight previously unknown cases of COVID-19 in New Zealand, by looking for antibodies to the disease in blood donated by nearly 10,000 people - known as seroprevalence. The cases were found around the country, in seven different district health board regions.

At present, married or civil union partners have to be officially separated for at least two years before either party can apply for a divorce, formally known as a dissolution.
