How should a driver respond to a school zone sign?

  1. Maintain current speed

  2. Reduce speed to 30 km/h

  3. Increase speed to 50 km/h

  4. Stop completely

The correct answer is: Reduce speed to 30 km/h

A driver should respond to a school zone sign by reducing speed to 30 km/h. School zones are specifically designated areas where lower speed limits are enforced to enhance the safety of children walking to and from school and other pedestrians. The reduced speed limit allows drivers more time to react to unexpected situations, such as children crossing the street or leaving school grounds. Failing to reduce speed in these areas can lead to serious accidents, as children may not be as visible or predictable as adult pedestrians. Adhering to the 30 km/h limit is crucial, as many municipalities enforce this speed limit during specific times, typically when children are arriving at or leaving school. While maintaining the current speed, increasing speed, or stopping completely could seem relevant depending on the situation, they do not align with the regulatory measures designed to prioritize safety in school zones. Maintaining speed could put children at risk, increasing speed is counterproductive, and stopping unnecessarily might cause confusion or hazards for other drivers and pedestrians.
