When driving in a school zone, what is the speed limit?

  1. 20 mph

  2. 25 mph

  3. 30 mph

  4. 35 mph

The correct answer is: 20 mph

When driving in a school zone, the speed limit is typically reduced to 20 miles per hour. This allows drivers to have more time to react in case a child runs out into the road and to increase overall safety. Option B, 25 mph, may seem like a reasonable answer, but in most cases, school zones have a maximum speed limit of 20 mph. Options C and D, 30 and 35 mph, are typically considered too fast for a school zone and are unlikely to be the correct answer. It is important to always pay attention to posted speed limit signs in school zones and adjust your speed accordingly to ensure the safety of children.
