When must you obey a school zone's lower speed limit?
The rule
A school zone's lower speed limit applies when its lights flash or children are there. Where a traffic patrol works a school crossing, stop and yield when signaled.
Obey a school zone's slower limit when its lights are flashing or children are there. At a crossing with a traffic patrol, stop and yield if signaled.
From the SCDMV Driver's License Manual, page 10-2. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the DMV have the final word.
