Yes, this is a great idea. I live in Mountain View at the Springer Elementary school crossing walk. Everyday I see so many cars and trucks race through this intersection (many with 1 driver, commuter) during the rush hour in the morning and the evening. Even though the posted speed limited is 15MPH many of these drivers go as fast as possible (sometime driving in the bike lane or center divided lane). Waze maps provide this route to commuters to take short-cuts rather than the highways and safer routes. Would be great to have a way to include these schools in the routes. Also, the google cars drive through every day and automatically follow the speed limits. Would be cool if Waze could limit the route flows based on speed limits that that the fastest speeder. We had a pedestrian death last week in Mtn View and another in Palo Alto. The traffic load is growing and safety needs to be a priority for the drivers and the corporations providing the information (encouraging these drivers to speed). thanks
