Distracting from the Point
Now, it’s not hard to guess what the intention of this sign is – it’s obviously limiting vehicle speed to 20 something-per-hour (either miles or kilometers), but the way it’s read – ‘Do not exceed 20 children’ – makes it pretty funny. Of course, we all know that raising children can be expensive and stressful, so it’s advisable to limit the number you have to something manageable!
The major downfall is it probably makes drivers laugh and encourages them to focus more attention on the wording of the sign than their speed! If that’s the case, then the sign’s purpose of slowing people down and making them more aware of the children is completely negated – in fact, children had better be a little more careful of distracted drivers in this area!
