I don't understand why this is such a big deal.

Even assuming a lengthy 1km school zone, travelling at 50km/h gets you through the zone in 1 minute, 12 seconds. Travelling 30km/h gets you through it in 2 minutes. That's a difference of 48 seconds. Is it that big of a deal?

I fully admit I'm just pulling school zone length numbers out of the air here, but I can't imagine the average school/playground zone is that long ... if even half that long.

Just seems like such a minor issue to be angry about.
