Children load and unload quite a distance from the highway. Is this 20 MPH school zone really ncessary or is it just a cash cow for the county as they write a lot of tickets in that location.
We live in that area and I've often seen kids at the Bellvedere Library, and I've seen them walking through the tunnel to get to Southern Trace Plaza. I presume they cross CR 466 as well. It's a School Zone ..... no reason to speed when the lights are flashing!
