Where children at play signs are used
A homeowner with a long private driveway posts one at the turn where a child's bike might cross to the lawn. A cul-de-sac association sets one on a post at the bulb of the street, where kids gather to play. A family with a side yard on a shared lot puts one by the gate where a ball rolls out. The sign asks drivers on your own lot to ease off before the play area.
Choosing the size and where to hang it
The driveway entrance or the cul-de-sac post, where a driver comes in slowly, suits the 24 by 18 inch size. Use the 12 by 18 inch size by a yard gate. Plastic is light and fits a temporary play day, tied on with zip ties through the grommets. Aluminum takes bolts through its corner holes and holds on a fixed post for a long stretch. For a drive used after dark, reflective aluminum shows in headlights. Keep the sign well off the traveled part of the road.
Questions about children at play signs
Can I put this sign on the street?
Usually not on a public street. Some towns do not allow private signs in the public right of way, and only the city sets official traffic signs. Keep it on your own driveway or HOA lot, and check your town's rules before you post it near a road.
Is this an official traffic sign?
No. It has the look of a warning sign, but it is a private-property notice and not an official traffic sign. Drivers should still slow down, and your HOA or city can tell you what it allows on common roads.
Black on yellow or black on white?
Black on yellow is the stronger warning look and reads well from a car at the lot entrance. Black on white is quieter and suits an HOA road with a formal feel. For night visibility, reflective aluminum comes in 18 x 12 in, 24 x 18 in and 12 x 18 in.
Can I add the name of the court?
Yes. The extra line can name the court or lane, such as Oak Court, so drivers know which area the reminder covers. Keep the name short so SLOW and CHILDREN AT PLAY stay readable. The live preview shows how the name prints before you order.
Should I add a second sign farther down the drive?
A second sign at the far end of a long drive reminds drivers who passed the first one. Keep both at the same height and in the same color so they read as one message. Check that neither sign is blocked by a parked vehicle or a bush.
