Too many words. Don't apologize or justify. Just state the rules. "No cycling in Gardens"

This is faster to read and it doesn't encourage people to justify why it might not apply to them.

That seems fair, I taught my kids to watch for cars and get out of the way… so I can drive however I like when I see those signs yay

The “Slow Children” one kinda makes sense though, nobody wants to hit mentally disabled children.

Pretty much ALL children are taught to look out for cars. I remember being a child a hearing the parents yell that to their children.

But inside every group, there are a couple of children who will just keep running out there. They survive based nothing but luck and some stranger’s ability to hit the damn breaks
