    Yeah, I see this and wish they’d put one in front of my kids’ school. Every road in my town is 25mph, every single one. We have those digital signs in a couple places in town that read exactly that. People still do 40 in front of the school, where kids walk. We are a town where a good chunk of people walk to school, I walk my kids, and people still fly around. Leaving earlier is never an option, need to speed everywhere to make up 30 seconds.

    They have one of those signs that tells you how fast you’re going, though. So effective.

      I drive by a school with those signs on my way to work. I slow down because, obviously, kids. The cars behind me get enraged that I’m not going 40 and then they pull into the school and drop off their kids.

      I wish they’d put them in front of my local elementary school, despite my kids grew past that and despite people not speeding. The problem is the fence is mangled, in a bunch of spots all along the front of the school. Somehow cars are repeatedly jumping the curb, crossing the sidewalk where kids walk to school, then colliding with the fence. wtf
