If they want to keep children safe, lower the speed limits around schools and make those automatic license place readers part of a speed camera system. One of the major threats school children face is stressed parents driving their kids to school. Lower speeds increase safety, and also reduce harmful air pollution which kids are especially vulnerable to.

@Safety first, I love watching, amongst other things, YouTube channels by civil engineers. Watching these makes it quite apparent that cameras are not effective at making cars slower or roads safer. But that there are other ways that are mostly subliminal that make roads “feel” like they need to be traversed slower while maximising pedestrian safety.
