Slow Children At Play

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Slow children at play" is a common sign seen in American cities urging motorists to slow down. [1]. The signs are seen around areas where children frequent, such as playgrounds and schools. They are almost always characterized by the words "Slow Children At Play" and a picture of a child running. They sometimes have a speed limit posted on them. Sometimes neighborhood residents post impromptu signs after a child is run over[2].

The signs sometimes provoke jokes about "slow children".
