What is Maine's maximum speed in a school zone when children are going to or leaving school during the defined opening or closing period?
Correct answer: 15 mph
Why
The maximum is 15 mph in the stated active school-zone situation unless conditions require an even lower speed. The statute defines opening and closing periods as the half-hour before and after the beginning and end of the school day. It also covers recess, specified flashing school-zone signs and other qualifying locally designated times; do not assume every school sign imposes 15 mph at every hour.
