School Zone Times: When are school zone speed limits in effect?

• A. School zone times have no impact on driving rules.
• B. Speed limits are in effect during specified times on school days.
• C. School zone times apply only on weekends.
• D. All road users must stop at school zones at all times.

Answer: (B)

School zone speed limits are in effect only during the times posted on signs on school days, to protect children when they’re traveling to and from school. That means you slow down to the posted limit (often around 30 km/h) during those specific hours on school days, and outside those times you follow the regular speed limit for the road. The times can vary by school or municipality, so always look at the sign for the exact hours. It isn’t a rule that applies on weekends or holidays when school isn’t in session, and you don’t have to stop at all times in a school zone—only when there are signs or signals requiring it.
