Traffic in school areas can be controlled by signals, signs, markings and school crossing

Traffic in school areas can be controlled by signals, signs, markings and school crossing guards. Crossing guards must be treated with special attention. Any traffic users have to wait until the guard is completely out of the crosswalk before they proceed. The speed limit in school areas can be 15 or 25 mph. These speed limits are in force on school days starting half an hour before school begins and finishing half an hour after schools ends.
