Or do the signs on the side of the road that mark playground zones not clearly say "8:30 until one hour after sundown"?

Every single damn morning, on my way to work, around 8 in the morning, EVERYBODY slows down to 30kph for the playground zones THAT DON'T COME IN TO EFFECT FOR ANOTHER HALF HOUR! Dammit, I'm late for work almost every day, but I'd be on time if these morons would just read the friggin sign!

ARGH! :madred: :banghead:

:D

I sweart to god people in this province are all born retarded when it comes to driving. We should send all these drivers to Ontario or quebec for a survival course, those who are killed weren't truly meant to drive, those who survive may be able to get help!:thumbsup:

Actually I think they vary in time, I have 2 around my area, and one say 8AM and the other say 8:30

so there are different times.

Well, I know for sure the two on my way to work say 8:30... I've checked multiple times just to make sure I wasn't flipping out for no reason... But it's possible that different locations have different times.

I thought they were all standardized to start at 8:30 so we don't have to try to read the fine print at 50km/h (more or less)...

Do you really get slowed down that much in a 2 block school zone that you're really late for work? Leave 10 seconds earlier and you probably will make up the difference! :nut:

School zones are 8:00am, Playground Zones are 8:30am ladies and gents.

Well, it's really odd... If I leave 15 minutes earlier, the traffic is heavier... I have it timed just right that if I leave when I normally do, it's only an 8 minute drive. If I leave earlier, it ends up taking longer and I'm still late... :dunno:

yea I know what you mean, if you hit heavier traffic time, you just wand up wasting gas and brake pads.

Stupid traffic... at least I don't have to travel on any major trails! Residential roads all the way! :thumbsup:

Honk at the people and when they get pissed tell them to read the sign.
