Mr Kingston said the signs were "were considered intimidatory by unionist residents".
A DfI spokesperson confirmed it had received the correspondence adding: "The matter is under consideration."
Meanwhile, a Sinn Féin spokesperson said the party was "dismayed" at what it described as an attempt to "sectarianise signs placed by road safety campaigners".
"Sinn Féin along with local residents have been calling for road safety measures in the Oldpark area consistently and if these signs save one child's life then this is a worthwhile intervention,"
A statement from the party said, adding: "We can all agree that road safety signs would be better installed by government departments, however the waiting list for such measures are extremely lengthy."
