So I don't really know what the answer is. What I do know is that children can be taught much better traffic awareness than we teach today. At least, if children are being mowed down in the numbers people seem to think warrant all of these 30 zones. People keep repeating that a 30 collision is so much safer than a 50 - which is obviously true - but no one seems to ask *why* we're seeing so many collisions in the first place. What's changed that kids are routinely coming into contact with vehicles in recent years?

Simply put - lazy parenting.
