School speed limits are unnecessarily complicated. So many times I'll pass a school speed limit sign and sometimes it's just "while flashing" which is easy to understand quickly. However, other times it has in very small print conditions such as during certain times or during weekdays or even the really vague "when children present". Sometimes I won't notice all of the print before I pass the sign, so I'll just do the slower school speed limit and the driver behind me starts tailgaiting me because I'm going under the limit. So I suggest instead of having these limits be conditional school speed limits, they should just be the normal limits all the time. It wouldn't hurt people to slow down when kids aren't present, so just make the speed limit reduced all the time on roads around the school. Additionally, if this was the case, drivers would be used to going slow and wouldn't forget to slow down during school hours
Yeah why over complicate it
Is there a school somewhere where kids go and live near? Flat 20mph limit for a 1 mile radius around the school, then 30 mph for another mile radius around that.
Cars don't need to go at kid killing speeds anywhere near kids, regardless of if it's school hours or not
