School Zone

Beware, the 15 mph school zone is larger than you might realize.  The speed zone changes from 30 mph to 15 mph on Walton St at the entrance to the School Bus garage and ends just past the intersection of Walton and Bolton.  All of Bolton is 15 mph as well as Cornwall.  The 15 mph School Speed Limit is enforced 24/7/365.

Maybe some nice looking high visibility signs might be a good idea.
Something that might attract a drivers attention and remind them that they are entering a school zone.  I realize that flashing yellow lights over the signs might not be in the budget this year, but new signs would be helpful in reminding local and out of town mortorist that they are driving in a school zone.

Some flashing signs would be nice, but years ago it took almost 3 years to get a "drug free school zone" sign put up that was "donated" by the Masonic Lodge. Also, the worst offenders of the speed zone are kids driving too fast coming to school and the parents who drive their kids to school each day.
