1. School-area

A school area (or school zone) is a section of road near a school where special traffic rules apply to keep students safe. Children can be unpredictable and may cross suddenly. Following the rules helps protect lives and avoid fines.

  • Lower speed limits - Often 20–40 km/h (or 15–25 mph).
  • Flashing lights or signs - Indicate when the school zone is active.
  • Crosswalks - Marked pedestrian areas, sometimes with guards.
  • No parking/stopping zones - Keep areas clear for visibility and safety.
  • Speed bumps or raised crossings - Force drivers to slow down.
