Speed limits in school zones
School zones are installed to reduce traffic speed near schools during the times indicated in the school zone sign. School zones are identified by signs which are displayed on both approaches to the school and show the speed limit and the times during which it applies.
School zones are generally permitted on roads adjacent to schools where there is significant school related activity on and beside the road.
