At 3:15 p.m. on a school day, you pass a fluorescent yellow-green, five-sided sign that shows two people walking. No children are in sight yet. What should you do?
Correct answer: Slow down, watch for children, and be ready to stop quickly
Why
The pentagon shape is used only for school advance and school crossing signs. Children are small, hard to see, and may not judge traffic well. Texas law requires a reduced speed when pedestrians create a special hazard. In a posted school zone, the lower speed limit applies when its yellow lights flash.
