Fifth-grader asks for flashing traffic signs in Ohio
Posted: Friday, February 5, 2010 EDT
A fifth-grader in Pataskala, Ohio recently asked city council members to install new traffic signs to encourage responsible driving near his elementary school, according to a recent article.

Kyle Curry-Compton of Licking Heights North elementary school asked the Pataskala City Council at a meeting to install speed limit signs with flashing lights on Summit Road, which runs close to the school, the Newark Advocate reported. Curry-Compton told city council members that there are three elementary schools and one after-school center on the road, but that there are no flashing 20 mph signs to encourage careful driving.

"I would respectfully ask council to please find a way to keep our schools safe," Curry-Compton said, according to the newspaper.

City council members said they would include the signs in an upcoming federal grant request, the article noted.

Many cities rely on flashing speed limit signs and other traffic signs to help encourage safe driving in areas near schools and other potential traffic hazards. These signs can help prevent accidents and save lives if used effectively.
