School Zones, Railways & Work AreasStandalone practice
At 7:40 a.m. you approach a school. A sign reads SCHOOL SPEED LIMIT 25 WHEN FLASHING, and its lights are flashing. You do not see any children. The regular speed limit is 40 mph. What speed limit applies to you?
Correct answer: 25 mph, because the lower school limit applies while the lights are flashing.
Why
Children move quickly and are hard to see between parked cars, so school zones need extra care. If a school crossing guard or traffic patrol signals you to stop, you must stop and yield. Near playgrounds and in neighborhoods, also be ready to stop quickly.
