What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law requires a motorist to slow to 15 miles per hour on any street or town road, except a state trunk highway or connecting highway, abutting a public park or recreation area when children are going to or from or are playing within the area. The reduced speed limit applies only if the local authority in charge of the street or road has enacted an ordinance reflecting the reduced speed limit and has marked the area with official traffic control devices.
Under this bill, the reduced speed limit applies on any highway contiguous to or adjacent to a playground, public park, or recreation area in an urban area or any highway properly marked with a park or playground sign when children are present.

Any person who violates these requirements may be required to forfeit not more than $100 for a first offense and not more than $200 for a second or subsequent offense.
The bill also requires the authority in charge of the maintenance of a highway that borders a playground, public park, or recreation area where children accessing or using the facility are likely to be at risk from traffic to erect signs warning motorists of the presence of the facility.
