You drive toward a school zone on a weekday afternoon. The sign shows a lower speed limit and has yellow lights that flash when that limit is in effect. The lights are flashing, but you do not see any children. What must you do?
A approaches a school zone on a weekday afternoon with no children visible. An enlarged roadside-sign detail shows SCHOOL, SPEED LIMIT 20, WHEN FLASHING and two flashing-yellow beacons.
Correct answer: Slow to the lower limit on the sign for as long as the lights are flashing
Why
A school zone's lower limit protects children who may be near the road even when you cannot see them, for example behind parked cars. When the sign's yellow lights flash, or during the hours that the sign shows, the lower limit is the legal limit for the whole zone. Watch for children and be ready to stop. Oklahoma doubles the fine for speeding in a school zone when the lower limit is in effect.
