A town council wants to lower the speed limit in the school zone on one of its city streets. Under Montana law, what is the lowest school-zone limit that the town may set?
Correct answer: 15 mph
Why
The same 15 mph floor applies when a local authority lowers the limit near a senior citizen center or a nearby crosswalk. Special limits on state highways, including school zones next to them, are set by the state Transportation Commission. The lower limit applies where signs, markings or flashing lights show it, and the school zone can include nearby streets chosen by the local authority.
