Does end of school zone sign mean you can go ahead and spped up after you pass the sign?

Question

The reason I ask my friend received a speeding ticket because when he passed the end of school zone sign he went to the regular speed limit but the police officer told him that he
the end of school zone does not end until he gets to the next speed limit sign.

Answer 1

i think there needs clarification on this...i would agree that the speed zone restriction ends at the end sign; the same as at a construction zone sign limiting you to 25 mph or whatever. the next sign usually says something like ''thank you,resume 35 mph'' or whatever the limit is.

Answer 2

School Zone Ahead Sign

Answer 3

yes to the question No! to the ticket. As soon as you reach the "End of School Zone" sign, at least in PA, you can go whatever the faster speed limit is. For example, if you were in a town, the speed limit would most likely go back up to 35, 45, then 55.
Your friend, at least in good ol' Penna, should not have gotten that ticket.
Challenge the ticket.

Answer 4

the speed limit signs are posted at the start and end of the school zone limits. but the law is once you past the painted lines marking 'school zone' then you can speed up to the posted speed limit. which is usualy right after the painted lines.

Answer 5

If the sign says 40km/hr/school zone, it stays 40 until the next speed limit sign that indicates that it has gone back up.
That's how it is here in Ontario.

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

Yea, but keep it at a residential speed at first (i.e. 25 - 35 miles an hour)

Answer 8

i'd say end school zone means exactly that. it may be some kinda secret law tho so they can get ppl..a holes

Answer 9

It means you have to be more careful in that area so yes i suppose so (never really thought about it till now!)

Answer 10

yes
