I suppose, Houghy, that the deterrent is that they might be - just like mobile speed cameras.
Any driver who knowingly drives through a school zone and ignores the accepted mores should be flogged. I live close to a primary school and a kindergarten (different premises and not related) and have often baulked because of shadows or movement behind the parked vehicles. I'd rather do that though than clobber an impulsive or careless child.
