I think the expectation is that they will eventually traffic calm the streets until people really go 30km/h. (Or speed a little, probably not 40 km/h.)

FWIW, 20mph school zones seem to be becoming more common in the US.

They use automated cameras on many roads and they will fine you for going over 30km/hr, from experience in Ireland. Although I think they are only that strict on problematic stretches. My mother got a fine for going 34km/hr in a 30 zone.
