"On schools days when children are present" - what does that mean to you?

1. I'm pretty much the same as you - I slow down even if I don't see kids

I don't have kids so I have no idea when schools are in session. So "when children are present" means nothing to me. It's the kids I might not see that are in danger!

Thankfully the two school zones I most often have to drive through have warning lights that flash when the school zone speed limit is in effect. I wish all school zones had those - it would make it easier to observe the speed limit and get me attention when I am driving in unfamiliar areas.

Oddly, the cars that ignore the school zone speed limit and rush past me seem to be the ones turning into the school drives to let off or pick up their kids.
