It's time for another GOOD IDEA, BAD IDEA

GOOD IDEA: Placing a traffic safety decal on the road in a school zone to warn motorists to slow down.

BAD IDEA: Placing a traffic safety decal on the road in a school zone to warn motorists to slow down that looks like a 3D kid in the middle of the street.

THE END.

Won't that cause more accidents as drivers suddenly slam on their brakes and get rear-ended?

So true. Cutesy ideas and real traffic do not mix.

Sure, but then it's the fault of the guy behind you. Never mind that you were doing 40mph in a school zone.

Personally I think *enforcement* is the way to go. Nothing gets people to slow down like a few $150 tickets the first week of school. Word gets out, people.

Well, it's always best to steer when possible to avoid obstacles, rather than brake. Also, a driver shouldn't be following too closely -- they should always have enough room to brake or steer should the person in front of them suddenly stop. Not to say that anyone knows this.
