Please Drive Slowly - This is a Child Safe Area - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Advise drivers that they are entering an area where children are present, such as a school, nursery, playground, or childcare facility. Slower driving reduces the risk of accidents and provides drivers with more time to react to children crossing roads, walking in parking areas, or playing nearby. The sign reinforces the importance of safe driving behaviour to protect young pedestrians.

This sign should be placed in school entrances, drop-off and pick-up zones, playground access roads, parking areas, and streets adjacent to childcare facilities. Placement at points where vehicles enter or travel through areas frequented by children ensures that drivers are reminded to reduce speed and exercise caution before entering high-risk zones. Proper positioning increases visibility and effectiveness, helping prevent accidents.

By emphasizing reduced speed in child-safe areas, the sign encourages responsible driving behaviour and supports the school or facility in maintaining a safe environment for children. It also reminds staff, parents, and visitors that the area prioritizes child safety, reinforcing a culture of vigilance and care.

Overall, using this sign is essential for preventing traffic accidents, protecting children, and promoting awareness of safe driving practices around areas where young pedestrians are present. It helps foster a safer community environment for both children and drivers.
