In all my 30 years of driving, I've never had a kid or pedestrian run into the road while I'm driving. But yeah we should all do 30km/hr everywhere because it might happen in today's helicoptered parenting world.

Edit: I'm a bit frustrated about this today. Got a photo radar for 41 in a playground zone right around Sunalta LRT station. I looked at the pic and matched it up with google's streetview. The guy got me right at the end of the playground zone, pic was about 5 feet before the sign says the zone ended. Now here's the thing, the place to go slow was at least 300 feet back right around the station. I understand this. I think everyone sees the sign that the zone has ended and hits the gas so that was an easy spot to rake in the cash.

Anyone know of any apps that track your speed in real time and warn you if you are going to fast? I don't even know if they would work in this case. I tried waze a couple of years ago and couldn't stand it because it was always warning me about stuff that didn't seem worthy of my attention.

What a pain in the a$$. I'm getting nickled and dimed (all 10-11km over) by photo radar 3 times over the last year and I am not a speeder. ie, I don't drive with the intent to speed, I go with the flow and am very patient and I very carefully note the playground zones and slow down through them. I know about the sunalta one, I drive it several days a week and for sure I was only speeding up at the very end of it.

I am tempted to start a protest movement that will drive 5% under the speed limit everywhere. Who wants to join!!
