When Children Are Present Signs: Can I get information about the "when children are present" signs posted in school zones?

The City of Henderson replaced traditional school speed limit signs in 2011. Traditional signs specified the exact times that school zone speed limits are in effect. "When children are present" signs don't list specific times. By not listing the exact times, the city is able to realize an annual savings of up to $10,000 in sign maintenance costs incurred due to school bell time changes.

Our signs also provide more flexibility in the placement of school crossing guards and traffic enforcement.
