Explanation
The maximum speed limit in a school zone when children are present is 15 MPH. Children are less predictable, and may run into the street unexpectedly. Slower speeds give drivers more time to react and prevent accidents. Crossing guards also need time to stop traffic for children to cross safely. Take extra care to look out for children, especially when driving near schools, bus stops and playgrounds.
