Children at Play signs are very popular with the general public.  The Indiana Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) does not suggest using this sign or similar signs such as “Deaf Child Area”.  Our office receives many requests to install these signs from well-meaning citizens who want traffic to slow down so children will be safe.  If a driver does not slow down when they see children playing, they will not slow down because a sign says there are children playing.  The signs are not effective; therefore, the City does not install them.
