These seem like pretty reasonable restrictions to help keep kids safe, something similar to having a peanut free zone at a school and educating all the kids about the dangers of peanut allergies. But what if someone does not follow the speed limit or a kid runs directly in front of a car. A kid could still die. So should we not ban all cars from driving on the streets a two block radius around the school during school hours. Sure this would inconvenience a lot of people but it could save a kids life so why would we risk doing otherwise. Anyone who does not agree with this ban of cars around schools is ignorant and/or has no morals.

If a kid runs directly in front of my car in a school zone i should be paying attention enough to slam on the brakes if i'm going the school zone limit. If not I am likely held liable. As long as your okay being held liable for the injury of a kid because your such a peanut advocate than that's ok by me.
