Under New Hampshire law, what speed limit applies in a posted school zone near a school crossing like this one?

Answer options

Why

New Hampshire has no single school-zone number: in a signed school zone, drivers must slow to 10 mph below the normal limit during the set periods around the start and end of the school day. The lower speed leaves extra room to brake for a child who darts out.
