What is the speed limit in a school zone when children are present?

  1. 30 MPH

  2. 25 MPH

  3. 20 MPH

  4. 40 MPH

The correct answer is: 20 MPH

In a school zone, the speed limit is reduced to 20 MPH when children are present in order to ensure their safety. This speed limit allows drivers to have enough time to react in case a child unexpectedly crosses the road. Choice A, 30 MPH, is incorrect because it is higher than the required speed limit. Choice B, 25 MPH, may be a common speed limit in some school zones, but it is still higher than the correct answer of 20 MPH. Choice D, 40 MPH, is significantly over the speed limit and could put children at risk. It is important to always follow school zone speed limits, especially when children are present, in order to ensure their safety.
