Seen first in Sutton, QC - then a few days later on Ile d’Orleans (and yes, I know I’m missing some accents there, can’t figure out how to do 'em on this keyboard). The text roughly translates to “Kids playing here. Drive as if they were your own.”, with an image of what I gather is supposed to be a child that was knocked down by a speeding car. Only… it shows a person lying on his/her/its back, with feet panted on the ground but knees up. And everyone I was with said “why is that woman giving birth on the side of the road??”. Sadly, none of us thought to take a picture of it in Sutton, and then we were driving a car when we saw it on Ile d’Orleans. ---

Thanks!! I think the ones we saw, the “person” was more like the stick figures you see on restroom doors etc, but I might be misremembering. Certainly from a distance the features were less clear. ---

Certainly from a distance the features were less clear. Aha: using the wording on the one you listed, I found another that I think is probably the [variant we saw](https://images.app.goo.gl/CeUZQS2oVuKdcNRt8). Note the lack of facial features on that one. ---

Yes, those signs are found all over Québec, and in pretty bad taste IMO. The one on my street is less bad, it’s placed just below the speed limit sign and it only says “Attention à nos enfants” and no picture.
