(There is a confusion around school zone speed limit as to whether you should follow the speed limit of 25 mph when school is not in session or when there are no children present. When you are driving, it is difficult to tell from 1,000 feet if there is a school session or children are present. Even if it is Saturday or Sunday, children may be attending a school event such as a sport competition or can be at a playground nearby. Children do not have a sense of detecting street danger and may run cross the street after a ball or there may be excited to run home. So, it is better to be safe than sorry; slow down to the school zone speed limit near a school zone or a playground when children may be present.)
