| Sep 19, 2022 at 14:45 | comment | added | user2705196 | @gnasher729 Because it is always the case that children may or may not be present your common sense advice translates into always obeying the specified speed as a speed limit. Presumably that was not the intention of the sign. Otherwise they would have just used a general speed limit sign (although a general speed limit sign may arguably be a better solution indeed but is not the chosen solution...) | |
| Sep 19, 2022 at 8:26 | comment | added | phoog | @user2705196 indeed. When I was a kid in New Jersey the school speed limit sign had flashing lights. The digits indicating the lower limit were also lights, so they could not be read when the sign was turned off. It's much easier to process such a sign in a fraction of a second. | |
| Sep 19, 2022 at 6:17 | comment | added | gnasher729 | If there is a speed limit “when children are present” and you drive along when children may or may not be present, it’s common sense to slow down to make sure you don’t break the speed limit. | |

| May 22, 2022 at 14:33 | comment | added | user2705196 | The existence of these (totally reasonable) questions illustrate how extraordinarily ill-advised it is to have complicated conditions on traffic signals that need to be clearly understandable and actionable within a fraction of a second when driving by. I totally see the good intentions behind it, but the path to hell is paved with good intentions... | |
