When children are present, the speed limit in a school zone is typically reduced to 20 mph (or as indicated by local signage) to ensure their safety. This limit is in effect during specific hours when children are arriving at or leaving school. However, the speed limit may vary based on local regulations, so it's important to pay attention to posted signs. In some areas, the speed limit may be lifted outside of designated school hours.
The school zone speed limit when children are present is typically 20 miles per hour.
25 mph
15 mph
It depends on the type of school. I've seen 25mph for a high school, and 15mph for middle and elementary schools. In both cases, only when children are present or signs/signals indicate so.
This means any hours that a school is open. Anytime a student is likely to be around during regular school hours. Usually between the hours of 7am and 5pm.In California, when children are present, the speed limit in a school zone is: 25mph
In Idaho, the maximum speed limit for a school bus is generally 45 miles per hour on highways unless otherwise posted. However, when the bus is picking up or dropping off students, the speed limit is reduced to 20 miles per hour in school zones or when children are present. It's important for drivers to adhere to these limits to ensure the safety of schoolchildren.
The presence of children does not alter the posted speed limit, except when traveling within a 'school zone'. Speed limits are likely just 20 miles per hour in the school zone starting a short time before, during, and a short time after regular school hours. You should use common sense when driving in areas where children are present, regardless of a posted speed limit anyway. You should pay close attention and might want to lower your speed when you are near a public park, during the loading and unloading of school buses, or in neighborhoods with children out playing.
I think it varies from country to country but generally its around 15 - 20 kph.
No. Not unless the school zone lights are flashing.
Speed limits do not generally change because of who is present. Even the lower speeds in school zones apply during certain times when childrenmay be present, not just when they arepresent.
Teachers need to limit websites at school because students are in school to learn. If they did not limit certain sites, children would be on those sites instead of learning what teachers are trying to teach them.
In many locations that is the statutory speed. HOWEVER - the legal speed limit at that time and place is WHATEVER IS POSTED. Many school locations are posted with speed limits that are different from the 'usual' prevailing speed on that roadway.
