Why aren tot lots signed with playground zones?
Due to concern for the safety of children using these tot lots, playground signs are not installed. Tot lots are normally small and have frontages on a short section of roadway. Instituting a lower speed limit on such a short section of roadway would result in some motorists not obeying the sign and others would brake, followed by immediate accelerating. This unpredictability of speed variation would increase the chance of rear-end collisions, skidding and drivers losing control during the winter time. Worst of all, the variation in speed makes it more difficult for small children to judge the speed of a vehicle and decide whether a gap is safe enough to cross the road. As such, playground zones are normally instituted for larger playgrounds with sports fields and lots of equipment and fronts on a long stretch of major roadways.
