20’s Plenty – The School Safety Solution

Prioritising Safety in School Zones

Ensuring the safety of children in school zones is of paramount importance. At MVIS, we recognise the significant risks posed to young pedestrians, particularly during peak times such as school drop-offs and pick-ups. Our 20’s Plenty School Safety Solution has been specifically developed to help mitigate these risks and enhance road safety around schools.

Every school day, around 3:30 PM, children flood out of their classrooms, eager to head home. However, the immediate challenge they face is navigating the busy roads outside their school gates. These roads are often occupied by parents picking up their children, commuters on their way home, or general through-traffic, increasing the potential for accidents—especially for younger children who may not yet be fully aware of road safety.

Studies indicate that many drivers exceed the 20mph speed limit in school zones, posing a significant hazard to children crossing the road. Even small increases in vehicle speed can have severe consequences in the event of an accident.

To highlight these concerns, we invite you to watch our short video, showcasing essential statistics about school safety and the importance of slowing down in these critical areas.

The MVIS Solution: Advanced Technology for Safer School Zones

At MVIS, we have been at the forefront of Variable Message Signs (VMS) and Radar technology for years, using our expertise to develop solutions that improve road safety. Our 20’s Plenty School Safety Solution incorporates cutting-edge technology designed to influence driver behaviour and reinforce speed limits in school zones.

Utilising our industry-leading Portable VMS HD Compact in conjunction with MVIS’ Radar technology, this solution provides a highly visible warning system to encourage drivers to reduce their speed. When the radar detects a vehicle exceeding the speed limit, the sign will flash a “Slow Down” message along with a 20mph speed roundel, reminding drivers to adhere to the speed limit and creating a safer environment for school children.
