What is the speed limit at school intersections?
2 Answers
The speed limit in school zones should not exceed 30 kilometers per hour. Relevant regulations: According to "Road Traffic Signs and Markings Part 8: School Zones," a speed limit sign of "30" is set at all entrances of school zones, indicating that the speed limit in school zones should not exceed 30 kilometers per hour. Areas designated as school zones in the standard: The road within a 150-meter radius upstream and downstream of the gates of kindergartens, primary schools, and secondary schools. The size of speed limit and warning signs in school zones should be appropriately enlarged. At intersections and entrances near school gates where temporary parking is prone to cause congestion, specified grid lines should be set up. No-parking signs or time-limited parking signs should be placed within a certain range in front of school gates.
As a resident who frequently drives near the school, I've noticed that the speed limits at school intersections are very strict, usually between 20 to 30 kilometers per hour. This is because children may run around on both sides of the road, and in case of an accident, high speed would make it impossible to brake in time. I always have to slow down to around 25 when driving, especially during school drop-off and pick-up hours, when road signs often display yellow speed limit warnings or flashing lights. Additionally, rules vary slightly by location. For example, in our community, speed cameras are strictly enforced, and exceeding 30 km/h will result in a photo ticket. For safety, I recommend everyone adhere to these rules to protect the children.
