Fake Kid Signs VS Traditional Safety Signs

Fake Kid Signs VS Traditional Safety Signs

I ran across a website offering fake kid safety signs and was curious to know if they are working for anyone out there in Mozville. As seen above, stand-up signs designed to look like actual toddlers are placed alongside neighborhood streets to shock motorists into

slowing down. The same sign company offers another version made to look like a deputy holding a radar gun.

I can see how both signs would work for a short period of time, but I’m left wondering if people will become callous to the sight of children in the area and stop slowing down. Speeders mistaking a real deputy for a fake one will receive a ticket, but speeders expecting to see fake toddler signs might not slow down for actual kids.

What do you think folks? Would the fake kid and fake police signs be effective on your street, or do you prefer traditional signs? I’d also love to hear from those of you who successfully tamed the neighborhood speed demon, so click on the comments bubble above to share your sign tips and suggestions.

Have fun and stay healthy,

    I didn’t immediately notice that 2 of the 4 kids in the picture were signs 8)…
    Neat idea, it may make drivers slow down a little…

    I think they’re a great idea. From the photo, they look pretty realistic. They need to be rare so that driver’s don’t get used to them though.

    I think the fake kid signs are more effective than the traditional safety signs. I don’t agree that they need to be rare; the more safety signs, the better.

    These safety signs are definitely a great idea. I don’t necessarily think that drivers will become oblivious to them. Maybe it will just remind them to slow down.
