Slow Children At Play

Slow Children At Play

"Slow children at play" is a common sign seen in American cities urging motorists to slow down. [http://www.sanantonio.gov/publicworks/trafeng/childrenatplay.asp?res=1280&ver=true] . The signs are seen around areas where children frequent, such as playgrounds and schools. They are almost always characterized by the words "Slow Children At Play" and a picture of a child running. They sometimes have a speed limit posted on them. Sometimes neighborhood residents post impromptu signs after a child is run over [http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20040808/news_1m8sammy.html] .

The signs sometimes provoke jokes about "slow children".
