Are school zone speeding signs confusing?

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) July 25th, 2011

Most school zone speed limit signs normally have a crossing guard to help the children across the street. That’s the way it should be. But, some schools do not have crossing guards, instead, their school zone speed limit sign says “Speed limit 15 mph when children are present”. Some drivers do not understand this sign and I am one of them. Children or no children, some drivers go 15 mph, when in these school zones. Question: why do some police officers, in some states, write school zone speeding tickets, when no children are present?
