What is the maximum speed allowed when you drive through a school zone like the one shown?

Answer options

Why

School zones commonly carry a 25 mph limit while children are present, for example when a crossing guard is leading students across the street. Where a different limit is posted, the posted sign takes priority, and you should always watch for children stepping into the road.
