I can't see how agreeing with that idea would be politically correct or incorrect. It is a rule. Follow it. OR

You and Martha and Dolly Madison and I didn't have flashing school zone lights because we had crossing guards. Eventually automation took over, most guards left, and flashing lights are not getting the job done. Hence the radar guns. And no doubt it's a cash cow, but why not if it's going to keep the kids safer. I see kids up there crossing frequently. If one kid up there got hurt, there would be hue and cry on TOTV re police not doing their job.
