closed: Can't Fix #210496

Street & Traffic Signs:

Other: The "Slow Children" sign along Buckingham, in front of 1005 E Buckingham, is rusted and leaning at a distracting angle. Unsightly and ineffective, it should be at least righted, or, better yet, replaced with one in better condition (maybe one less than 70 years old?).

Thank you for reporting this concern. Staff reviewed the sign and determined that it is a non-standard warning sign that does not align with current traffic control guidance. Current MUTCD-based practices generally do not support the use of generalized ‘Slow Children’ signage on residential streets, as residential drivers are already expected to operate cautiously and anticipate pedestrians and children in these areas. As a result, the sign is not planned for replacement.
