Signs are (or should be) a standard size, like all road signs.
My patience has nothing to do with it, JFYI there are no school time limits around here, instead they have your favourite road bumps, only a self destructive fool would take them at 30mph.
IMO limits specifically applied around schools do not need to be applied when the school is not in use. Simple. I'm not going to keep arguing about it, if you disagree, so be it.

I agree, there is no reason why school speed limits should be in force at all times except as a money earner for the enforcing authority most of the time the kids the limit is meant to protect are in school out of harms way so it would be perfectly acceptable to have the limit between 2 times similar to bus lane times ,say 7:30 am to 4:30 pm for example.
The idea of a reduced limit around schools is so illogical that it was obviously thought up by a cyclist trying to justify their job
