Signs Offer Gentle Reminder: 'Drive Like Your Kids Live Here'

Dang! There's a baby on board. You were going to do your Mad Max impersonation and run that other car off the side of a cliff, but a sign says there's a baby in the car. Or a disabled ...
Mini-van moms who post "baby on board" signs on their mom-mobiles may actually be impacting road safety. Those signs really do prompt drivers to drive a little less recklessly.

Cul de Sacs: Bad for Kids?

Want to make your life saner, your kids safer, and your home worth more? Don't buy on a cul de sac. Wait -- aren't they the safest, surest bet around? Well, we used to think so. I grew up on one. But now that we've had about half a century to ...

Texting - Kids Can't Walk and Talk at the Same Time

We already know that teens, texting, and driving don't mix. (My van was rear-ended by a texting teen last year, who claimed he "didn't see me there." Or, apparently, the 20 cars who were also stopped at the red light in front of me.) But a new ...

Man slows traffic with children's cardboard cutouts

Right before Mike Wood's house in on Main Street in West Salem, Ohio, the speed limit changes from 55 to 35 -- which makes sense, as he lives in a residential neighborhood full of children. However, most drivers don't bother slowing down, making ...

Do these 'Slow' figures really work?

At some point in your travels, you have probably seen one of these little yellow plastic guys. Holding a red flag, he reminds you to slow down because there are kids nearby. When I see one, I automatically take my foot off the gas and play closer ...
