WOBO and 24 other organizations across the state have signed a comment letter formally requesting that the California Traffic Control Devices Committee postpone an amendment of the interpretation of the “WHEN CHILDREN ARE PRESENT” sign due to concern about potential impacts.

Details of the concerns are outlined in the letter here. Due to the unique traffic safety conditions for children, any changes must be evaluated extensively. Thus our coalition of organizations including CalWALKS, PolicyLink, Safe Routes to School, and many others are asking for further study of the proposed amendment.
