6 cameras, so about 15 per camera per day on average. id assume after a few months the numbers would drop as people become more aware of them

Good! I've been guilty of speeding, but never in a school zone. Kids are stupid, they run right out onto the road with no warning at all.

I lived over the road from a school for 5 years until recently, and saw a few close calls as is. I shudder to think what would have happened had those drivers been doing 60 or more.

agree 100%. I walk my kids home and the amount of kids especially younger ones that just fly off onto the road without looking is scary
