What is the maximum received speed limit in school zones?

  1. 25 mph

  2. 20 mph

  3. 15 mph

  4. 10 mph

The correct answer is: 20 mph

The maximum received speed limit in school zones is typically 20 mph. This is because lower speeds are necessary to ensure the safety of children, who may be crossing the street or playing in the area. Options A, C, and D may seem like possible choices since they are all lower than the standard speed limit of 30 mph, however, 20 mph is the most commonly used and widely accepted speed limit in school zones. Option A may also seem like a possible choice for a residential area, but in a school zone, where children are present, a lower speed limit is necessary. Therefore, option B is the correct and safest answer.
