What is the speed limit in a marked school zone, during hours students are present?

  1. 20 miles per hour

  2. 15 miles per hour

  3. 25 miles per hour

  4. 10 miles per hour

The correct answer is: 15 miles per hour

In a marked school zone during the hours when students are present, the established speed limit is typically 15 miles per hour. This speed limit is put in place to ensure the safety of students who may be crossing the street or walking near school premises. The lower speed limit allows drivers more time to react to any unexpected movement by children, who can sometimes be unpredictable. Additionally, school zone signs are designed to be highly visible, and they often include flashing lights or other signals to alert drivers to lower their speed when children are present. It is crucial for drivers to adhere to these speed limits to prevent accidents and ensure a safe environment for students traveling to and from school.
