Children At Play Sign Alternatives

Your jurisdiction may require an alternative to Children At Play Signs. Alternative signage can include a Children At Play Sign variation, a combination of a Children At Play Sign and a Speed Limit Sign, or a yellow-green, diamond-shaped Playground Sign. Speed Limit Signs or Children At Play Signs that display a reduced speed limit are generally favored by jurisdictions because they clearly communicate how drivers should behave.

Signs in this category vary in messaging, symbol representation, and sign shape. Variations include sign messaging with or without “Children At Play” text, a symbol of a child running or a symbol of a child kicking a ball, and a rectangular sign vs. a diamond-shaped sign.
Additionally, some jurisdictions may require information about a speed limit reduction on the Children At Play Sign or on a supplementary Speed Limit Sign.
