Warning signs

Children going to or from school or playground ahead

Children going to or from school or playground ahead sign

What it means

Children are likely to be walking or crossing here on their way to a school or playground, and this triangle always carries a plate naming the reason: 'School' or 'Playground', 'Patrol' for a school crossing patrol, or a warning about disabled, blind or deaf children or a missing footway. Children step out without looking and are easily hidden by parked cars. Get your speed right down around start and finish times and cover the brake.
