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.
If even one child crosses 466 in the area you are referring, then yes the 20 MPH zone is necessary. They can't write a ticket if you stay under the speed limit.
