All right with the "holier than thou" you non-speeders. Consider traffic laws for what they REALLY are....revenue enhancement. Localities and the state police make the most of it to load up their coffers. Who really travels 55, 60, or 65 on the interstate? Not many folks I have seen. Travel those speeds and you get run down, often by a state trooper rushing to a doughnut stop.
If they were really SERIOUS about having you slow down for the school district, They would place a LARGE sign in an obvious place with a prominent yellow flashing light and speed warning.
Not sure about Florida, but in Massachusetts,
all traffic control signs must be approved by the State Highway Dept. If the sign is not approved, the sign cannot be enforced, legally. Many towns simply post signs hoping no one will challenge them and 99.9% of people don't because they are not aware of the issue. If you are taken to court you can ask for them to produce the approval letter from the state for the sign, if they can't provide it..case dismissed.
I also wonder about the enforceability of various signs on private property, stop signs in a mall parking lot, for example, for all the reasons above.
Again. not condoning reckless driving, just a little enforcement sanity.
NOTE TO FLORIDA RESIDENTS: These revenues help keep your property taxes down, don;t complain too loudly.
