25 mph
The school zone speed limit when children are present is typically 20 miles per hour.
15 mph
The presence of children does not alter the posted speed limit, except when traveling within a 'school zone'. Speed limits are likely just 20 miles per hour in the school zone starting a short time before, during, and a short time after regular school hours. You should use common sense when driving in areas where children are present, regardless of a posted speed limit anyway. You should pay close attention and might want to lower your speed when you are near a public park, during the loading and unloading of school buses, or in neighborhoods with children out playing.
This means any hours that a school is open. Anytime a student is likely to be around during regular school hours. Usually between the hours of 7am and 5pm.In California, when children are present, the speed limit in a school zone is: 25mph
In many locations that is the statutory speed. HOWEVER - the legal speed limit at that time and place is WHATEVER IS POSTED. Many school locations are posted with speed limits that are different from the 'usual' prevailing speed on that roadway.
I think it varies from country to country but generally its around 15 - 20 kph.
Speed limits do not generally change because of who is present. Even the lower speeds in school zones apply during certain times when childrenmay be present, not just when they arepresent.
Yes
True.
In a school zone, the speed limit is typically 20-25 mph. It is important to adhere to this speed limit to ensure the safety of children who may be crossing the street or walking near the school. Driving at a slower speed gives drivers more time to react to unexpected situations and reduces the risk of accidents involving pedestrians, especially children.
It depends on the type of school. I've seen 25mph for a high school, and 15mph for middle and elementary schools. In both cases, only when children are present or signs/signals indicate so.
When the school speed limit sign shows 20 mph flashing, the maximum speed limit is 20 miles per hour.
