What is the speed limit in a school zone?

  1. 20 mph

  2. 25 mph

  3. 30 mph

  4. 35 mph

The correct answer is: 20 mph

School zones have a lower speed limit compared to other areas because there is usually high pedestrian activity and more children present. The most common speed limit in a school zone is 20 mph, which allows for drivers to have enough time to react to unpredictable situations and reduces the severity of accidents. Options B, C, and D are all incorrect because they are higher than the appropriate speed limit for a school zone and could potentially put children at risk. It is important to always adhere to the designated speed limit in a school zone to ensure the safety of everyone in the area.
