If we are going to use photo radar for anything, it should be in school zones. Other than the utter laziness of not using turn signals, speeding in school zones is my number one driving irritant. More drivers need to be cited for not only speeding in school zones, but for passing in them as well.That said some of the signage in Mesa lacks consistency. Some zones have flashing lights, others have signs in the street and others have none of the above. While drivers are responsible for knowing where they are (and when) having consistent signs would increase safety for everyone.To the drivers who regularly speed past me in school zones, beware I am ready to start calling in license plates. Any kid hit in a school zone is one too many. If you are in that big of a hurry, find another route to your destination. Otherwise, get a clue and slow it down!
