Its like the yellow plague.
Why do we need them where there are already lights in place?
Why do they think I can stop absolutely instantly the second they step out in front of me?
Who decides where they are to be located?
(Yes I know there are Lollipop Men but not many.)
Its not possible to stop instantly.
Even at the correct speeds for the road condition, some distance is required.
I'm not convinced all Lollipop people understand this.
I dunno where the rest of ye live but around me most of the schools have them new hi-tech speed-limit signs with them flashy red leds around the outside and a 30kph limit.... I'm just wondering what legal basis they have for what they do and what training they receive - presumably none. ...
Anyone travelling into Naynagh, beware of the road-works guys at the Knockalton under-pass. Typically the guy nearest you will show the red side of his sign, but wave you on towards the guy furthest away from you, who will also be showing you the red side of his sign, meaning that traffic coming in the opposite direction sees the green side.... Ditto for the guys on the road works.

There is talk of lower speed limits near schools - I'd be in favour of that - and speed cameras to enforce it.
Only they and the Gardai have the legal power to stop traffic.
In fairness (see my previous post) the signs that I have seen are the lighty-up ones, LEDs I am told by those who know, and are only in force when the lighty things are lit.Great idea - so the cops can pull people for doing 25mph during the 23.5 hours of the day when there are no kids around

Oh BTW, 30 kph = 18.64113 mph, approximately.
