Most of the time the speed along this stretch of the highway is 70 kph, but that drops to 40 kph during school crossing time. And when that happens, the sign changes to 40 and flashes for the duration. I've seen the future and it looks disco. It could only be improved if it played music and the red lights went off and on in patterns. (Although that would possibly be distracting to motorists.)
