40km/h Around Kindergartens

There has been a lot of talk about installing 40km/h zones around kindergartens recently (see one story here). I currently take my oldest daughter to kindergarten and would never want anything bad to happen to her. However, I would like people to remember two things:

1. Children who attend kindergartens are always accompanied by an Adult, and normally need to get through a pool gate style fence to enter the kindy. The adult caring for the child should be responsible for the children in their care.
   
2. Drivers need to learn to drive to the conditions. Just because the sign says 60, doesn't mean you have to drive at 60. This is the limit. Often when I drive through school zones my speed is less than 40 due the amount of people and cars moving around. Drivers need to understand and learn to drive to the conditions. 

I believe any money spent on placing 40 signs would be wasteful and the result would be ineffective. I would rather see that money being spent on educating the children within the kindies, educating drivers and parents, and other measures that may help such as Zebra crossings.
