School Zones, Railways & Work AreasStandalone practice
It is 3:10 p.m. School has just ended, and children walk along the signed school-zone street next to the school grounds. What is the speed limit?
Correct answer: 15 mph, and lower if conditions make it necessary.
Why
Children near a school can run into the street without warning, and a lower speed gives you time to stop. A West Virginia school zone covers the school property and the street next to it, and it extends 125 feet along the street beyond the school grounds. Signs show where the zone starts and ends. Also watch for school buses that stop to load or unload children.
