I've reported this before. Often localities turn to children to create signs to reach people when the regular ones are not. I would assume that the logic is that a) something different attracts attention and b) people have a warm spot in their hearts for children reminding them to be safe.
Other use shock tactics when they
make their own signs. A cycling group and a construction company teamed up to create a sign that alerts people to a dangerous intersection and challenges the local council to take action.
Usually
when towns or schools have contests involving kids there is a tendency to select a "child-like" design to tug at people's heartstrings. In East Bruswick New Jersey the result was just a
well designed road sign. Take a look at what Destiny Griggs, an 10th-grader created.
In the City of Oneida they are making their own street signs and they describe how their new process allows them to
create their street signsin 15 minutes.
