It was actually refreshing while I was working in Texas to see people slow down in school zones. Of course, there was a traffic officer in front of almost every school out there, which is a rarity in this part of California. There is a school zone right next to the building where the company had moved into and it was downright hilarious to hear how many of my fellow Californians got pulled over for speeding when they came out - even a couple of the VPs got tickets.

Although there are the school zone speed limit signs around all the schools here (with the ever-ambiguous "When Children Are Present" on them), there is only token enforcement and typically it's only done before and after school for the first couple weeks. Oddly enough, the motorcycle traffic officer spends more time around the corner enforcing the "No Left Turn" out of the Post Office parking lot.

I did notice, however, that a neighboring city (Campbell) has recently installed speed indicators high up on utility polls surrounding some of their schools. I can see the solar panels and some sort of big box attached to them, but I think they're for informational purposes and maybe statistics instead of enforcement.
