Slowing from 50 to 30 for a block isn't going to cost me more than a few seconds in my day, so that part doesn't even bother me. I just don't think that there is any need to extend it to 9pm in the middle of the winter when the sun goes down at 4:30. I'd like to think that if you're old enough to be out playing at 9pm - 4.5 hours after winter sunset - then you're also old enough to have some safety skills of your own.

My kids will often hang out and play at the park during the winter after 4:30.
I have no problem with this. In the winter roads are often poor, people often have dirty windshields and head lights.
