Default stupid placement of a school zone speedlimit

okay I am quite annoyed at this bs stunt a CHURCH has decided to pull on one of the local roads here said road has a speedlimit of 60kmh and before you bleet it is signposted at 60 kph and it is 60 kmh - some time ago (two months or so) some of those double tape roadcounters went down in three different locations as somebody claimed that motorists were speeding along this road, and when the data was collected no the motorists weren't speeding they were traveling at 60 kmh which is LEGAL and as such no road measures (speed bumps or chicanes) were to be installed to slow the traffic down as they were not speeding. now what it seems these do-gooders at this particular church have decided to do is start giving religous instruction to a small group (under 10 as best as I can tell at this point in time) and as such they are now a church/school and as such have got council to install the school 40kmh limit on this road, now schools at school pickup/dropoff times are busy places but this place is completely dead no buses no parents dropping kids off etc etc.. I have done some recon on this "place" and the school zone is not required as the place cannot possibly require a "school zone speedlimit" as there are no children coming and going. this has made me furious that some church can decide that they are a school and make everybody pander to the 40kmh limit because according to them we are driving too fast. Clearly local council believes the road safe at 60kmh otherwise it would be 50kmh and they have no right to do this. whats next 40kmh around parks because there may or may not be children there? I plan on going to council with this abuse of legislation and will await a response. Sorry I just had to get this off my chest as its got me so angry that laws that are designed to protect children can be perverted such.
