SEATTLE, Wash. (AP) – A judge tossed out a man’s ticket for speeding through a Seattle school zone because the sign is too wordy.
The Seattle Times reports the sign instructs people to follow the 20 MPH limit “WHEN CHILDREN ARE PRESENT OR WHEN FLASHING.”
Federal standards say only one of those messages should be on the sign so drivers don’t have to read too much before slowing down.
The Seattle Department of Transportation isn’t saying yet if it plans to change the signs.
