It can vary even in the same city, most are 20 MPH, but I've seen some that are at 25 and 35 MPH.

Unless you can prove you weren't going 28, you have a ticket to pay. The limits vary from 20 mph to 25 mph. I suggest if you got one for doing 28, your limit might have been 20 mph, which is the limit in Manitoba. What city/state/province did you get the ticket in? And why aren't you in the habit of checking your speedometer so you can say you KNOW what speed you were going, not that you are sure.

20 MPH is the legal speed limit in a school zone. Police officers can and should ticket anyone for speeding in a school zone even if you are only going 1 MPH above the speed limit.

It varies from state to state. Most are 20 or 25, TX is 20 unless otherwise posted. AZ used to be 15 and may well still be.
If you were doing 28, you were nearly 50% over the limit and deserved the ticket.

In Texas it is 20mph. Although 28 isn't that fast. I wouldn't want people going fast where there are kids. It hard to forget it is school zone time. Sorry you got a ticket. We are all guilty of speeding on school zones once in a while.

It depends on the jurisdiction/state. Traditionally speed limits in school zones are much lower than on regular streets and/or highways.
In NYC, the maximum speed limit on any NYC highway is 50mph. On the NYC streets, the maximum speed limit is 30mph unless otherwise posted.
The speed limits in school zones range between 15mph & 20mph. Also, suspensions can occur with 2 speeds in this or a work zone as opposed to the usual 3 speeds in an 18-month period.

It is 20 on the neighborhood (side) streets and 25 on the state hyws/ junction roads next to a school. Go back to where you got ticketed and check, there should be a sign. You could appeal it but your chances aren't very good being your word against the cops in a school zone.

In Va it's 25, WV it's 15, NC 25. It can vary by district (or County) as it is ultimately a local governments decision.

I'm pretty sure it is 20mph or maybe 25 but they will def. ticket you for that especially in a school zone.

20 mph in America.
If you recently added Larger tires to your car, your speedometer will show a slower speed than actual speed.
