Probably a good thing. Seems like more and more parents are choosing to drive their kids to school and the chaos results in a lot of impatience.

    These things don’t really work, that is without a redesign of the actual street to promote traffic calming.

    We have a bunch of these around Toronto for example, they have the speed posted on them. After a few months they work pretty much the same as speed limit signs you regularly see. Drivers just ignore them and drive the speed the road or street is designed to drive.

      That’s what drivers usually do. I thought the purpose of in-street signs is to reduce the speed at which drivers feel safe driving because there is a bloody sign in the middle of the road that will scratch their paint. It may work better combined with a chicane.
