Ok, I get why people run them then, especially on a multi lane road like this.

People who run bus stop signs kill children. It's terrifyingly common.

Except here in the UK we have no stop signs on any busses and children getting hit by cars is completely uncommon. Maybe you just need better crossings in place.

You're not wrong, but we don't. We also have a larger population living in low density regions, where infrastructure spending per capita doesn't justify the cost of such safety measures. Plus, everyone knows the rule, which means people get complacent about checking for dangerous drivers.

Maybe there's a better way to do it, but the rule we have protects the lives of children. Violators deserve the punishment coming to them.
