School Zone......25mph?

School Zone......25mph?
|
I know the sign says "25MPH When Children Are Present"
So does that mean the 25mph speed limit only applies if you can see children?
When is it ok to drive through a school zone exceeding 25mph.

Like most said, it's better to be safe than sorry. Besides... is 5 seconds going to improve your arrival time, versus the half hour you will lose if you get stopped and cited.
Something to keep in mind.... every state has different rules and regulations regarding School Zones. Some are 20 mph, during school hours, other are only when children are present.... and then there is Oregon. Some, but not all of their School Zones are 24/7/365. That means at 3:00am on a Sunday morning, you are still bound by that 20 mph speed limit.
Don't take the chance. It's not worth it. |

Follow the school zone speed limits during the normal hours students are going to or leaving school. The hours vary from school to school and from state to state. Here in my city, the hours are from 07:30 to 09:00 in the morning and 14:30 to 16:00 in the afternoon. The school zone speed limit is 15 MPH in my city.
If anyone speeds in a school zone, especially while children are present, then expect to receive a ticket, hands down.
I hope this answered your question. |

AS a DRIVING INSTRUCTOR that I am.
The sign is not specific but the LAW says....
WHEN CHILDREN ARE PRESENT 25mph
this is when they ae walking and going to school
after school and lunch breaks.
NOT when 1 or 2 kids are present. Usually only during 8-4 M-F |

some schools are open 7 days a week
it aslo means if you see kids playing on the playground
(not just crosssing the street)
but why rush with kids around slow down (it couldnt hurt to slow
down near any school ) |

no it says 25mph during school hours
It has the hours posted on the signs

anytime other than those hours it is fine to go the regular posted limit |

It means at times when school is letting in or letting out. Through the off peak hours you can do the regular speed limit. |

If their are children in the area like on the sidewalk ( if any ) then you got to slow down. Most of the times its only when school is in session ( Give or take a few hours from start time and let the kids go time ) and Monday thru Friday. |

Most of the signs will have the hours posted on them but in most states the hours are between 7:00am to 9:00am and 2:00pm to 4:00pm. |
