What are the standard afternoon school zone restrictions on a school day?

  1. 2:00PM - 3:30PM

  2. 3:00PM - 4:30PM

  3. 3:30PM - 5:00PM

  4. 2:30PM - 4:00PM

The correct answer is: 3:00PM - 4:30PM

The standard afternoon school zone restrictions on a school day are typically from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM. This timeframe is designed to address the higher volume of traffic and activity around schools as students are dismissed for the day. During these hours, the speed limit is usually reduced to enhance the safety of children and ensure that drivers remain vigilant. Implementing these restrictions helps to manage the increased foot and vehicular traffic in school zones when children are likely to be walking, biking, or waiting for pickups. Adhering to these times is crucial for preventing accidents and ensuring safe passage for students leaving school. The specific hour range is determined based on common school dismissal times, aiming to provide a standard that can be recognized and obeyed by drivers in the community.
