On a weekday afternoon, you approach an elementary school. A school speed limit sign has yellow lights above it, and they are flashing. You see no children near the road. What should you do?
Correct answer: Obey the lower school limit on the sign until the zone ends
Why
Local authorities may set school zone limits as low as 15 mph, and signs, markings, or flashing lights show where and when the lower limit applies. Children near schools are small, hard to see, and may cross without looking, so the lower speed gives you time to stop. Speeding fines are doubled in Montana school zones.
