quiet death zone?

[v-12]

while driving home today, there were a couple of temporary signs that were yellow diamond street signs, and said "quiet death zone" on opposing sides of the street- does anyone know what they mean and are for?

i plan on using the term for a upcoming cd or song title (dependinghe meaning), pics of the sign to come....

Maybe the silence will kill you?

Palm muted death metal riffs??!?

Maybe someone on the street has chosen hospice care for a terminal illness, and is in the final stages. They might just want the person to pass in peace, without some jackass blaring hip-hop from his POS Honda tuner.

or someone was hit by a car there and people are having some sort of ceremony at the spot?
