  5. A school speed limit zone can be considered for the following conditions :- TRANSPORTATION • School-age pedestrians are crossing the major roadway going to • and from school. • School is located adjacent to highways or is visible from • highways A school speed zone is a special 30 km/h speed zone for schools allowed by statute and defined by school speed signs. The school speed zone begins at the SCHOOL SPEED LIMIT 30 sign and ends at the END SCHOOL SPEED ZONE sign or other posted speed sign.

  6. WHY IS GOING 30 KM/H SO IMPORTANT? TRANSPORTATION Slower speeds provide more reaction time to unexpected child actions. Any collision at a lower speed will generally cause less injury, as well

  7. Active Times TRANSPORTATION Generally, the zones indicated on the signs should be in effect only during the following specified intervals : • from approximately 30 minutes before and 5 minutes after classes begin • from the beginning to the end of the lunch period for open campuses, and • from approximately 5 minutes before and 30 minutes after classes end

  8. Methods for addressing bicyclist and pedestrian safety and accessibility within the school zone will be discussed as the following : TRANSPORTATION • School Speed Limit Sign • Overhead School Flasher Speed Limit Sign • Changeable Message Sign • Portable Speed Feedback Sign • School Advance Warning and Crosswalk Signs • Pavement Markings • Parking Restrictions

  11. School Advance Warning and Crosswalk Signs School advance warning signs and school crosswalk signs are important elements of safe routes to school program

  12. Pavement Markings TRANSPORTATION • The number of lanes. • The presence of a median. • The distance from adjacent signalized intersections. • The pedestrian volumes and delays. • The average daily traffic (ADT) • The posted speed limit. • The geometry of the location. • The possible consolidation of multiple crossing points. • The availability of street lighting, and • Other appropriate factors.
