Can't we just outfit kids with those shock collars they use to keep dogs inside a perimeter? Then whenever they ran after a ball, or decided it was time to play punchy-face with little Ryelee in the middle of the road, instead of getting run over they'd be twitching on the sidewalk, unable to successfully execute their nefarious plans.

I've always thought that playground and school zones in this city were arbitrarily situated according to the whims of the whinier community associations, and especially those with moneyed members, but never once have I thought "Wow, it's 7 PM and I sure wish I was only going 30 km/h so I wouldn't be running over these hundreds of playing kids!" It doesn't really matter if it's not all that much of an inconvenience, what matters is that arbitrary changes to an already suspect system should be opposed on principle.
