Reply to comment by godmode33 in Flashing Yellow School Zone Speed Signs Should be Mandatory Alongside Zone Cameras by BiffBiffkenson

The child safety comes from the crossing guards in the morning and afternoon when the vast majority of kids are outside. The camera in front of McCoy still goes off after 5pm if I'm not mistaken.

And the flashing blues and reds from a stationed officer.

They all do. 7 AM to 6 PM. It's such a racket.

Tbf, this is the time frame that a teacher was killed in a hit and run a few years back in PVD leaving after school activities: https://www.abc6.com/mount-pleasant-high-teacher-killed-in-hit-and-run/

It is a cash grab first and foremost, but it can both be a cash grab and an issue with people not paying attention during after school events. My teacher friend was hit by a drunk driver leaving her school lot at 3pm (thankfully in her car).

Hell, I drive over 10+ speed bumps getting home every day which have all been installed in the last 3 years because while I'm a good driver, the bad drivers here ruin it for the rest of us. It's like we're the speed bump capitol of the world.
