The sign says "When Flashing". I believe in some areas it says "In Session" or "When Children Present" or words to that effect.
The other day I was in the outside lane on 466 and the flashing light went "off" as I approached it. I, and others behind me, picked up speed passing those in the other two lanes. My passenger informed me we got a lot of dirty looks.
