Reduced School Area Speed Limits
INTRODUCTION
Higher vehicle speeds are strongly associated with a greater likelihood of both a pedestrian crash and serious pedestrian injury.
A 1999 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration study found that 5 percent of pedestrians are fatally injured when
struck by a vehicle traveling at 20 mph or less. This compares with fatality rates of 40, 80, and nearly 100 percent when the
pedestrian is struck at 30, 40, and 50 mph or more, respectively.1
Simply setting a reduced speed limit in a school zone is not likely to produce the entire desired speed reduction on its own.
Tools used to assist in reducing vehicle speeds in school zones include police enforcement (for example, conventional,
automated speed cameras, double fines), public awareness campaigns, and engineering countermeasures. Traffic engineering
tools include school speed limit zones and traffic calming (such as curb extensions or raised crosswalks). See ITE Briefing
Sheet—The Use of Traffic Calming Near Schools for more information. Applying a combination of measures in conjunction with
a reduced speed limit is more likely to slow traffic.
SCHOOL SPEED ZONES
Many parents and school and community groups request that the school speed limit be reduced by the greatest possible
extent, with the expectation that motorists will obey the posted speed limit. While speeds are lower in a school speed limit
zone as compared to when the posted regulatory speed is in effect, the average operating speed does not always reach the
posted school speed limit even when combined with flashing lights. Research shows that the measured 85th percentile speed
is about 5 to 7 mph higher than the posted school speed limit (see Figure 1).2 Therefore, while a school speed limit zone does
have lower speeds, drivers still exceed the posted school speed limit.
Principal questions with reduced school speed limits include:
Should speed limits be reduced for the school?
What limit should be selected for the reduced school speed limit?
Where should the reduced school speed limit zone begin and end?
When should the reduced school speed limit be in effect?
The answers to these questions vary widely between states and individual jurisdictions. In many cases, some of these issues
are settled by state statute or local ordinance. In the absence of state or local requirements, a jurisdiction should establish
uniform procedures for considering the need for and the implementation of school speed limit zones.
Should Speed Limits Be Reduced for the School?
The evaluation process needs to measure existing speeds on the street in question during school hours and determine whether
speeds are higher than desired. The evaluation process should consider whether other actions might bring about the desired
results more effectively.
A school speed limit zone typically is considered when children are crossing a roadway going to and from school. The zone may
be considered on any street along the school frontage.
In some regions, school speed limit zones are generally not used when signalized or stop-controlled intersections are present
at the school crossings, because their traffic control creates gaps that children can use to cross a roadway. A school speed limit
zone may be installed or retained at a roundabout, at a signalized or stop-controlled intersection (for example, as a mitigation
measure for concerns related to sight distance), or in other situations as determined by an engineering study.

Young
students need slower speeds in school zones because children do not have the same abilities as adults in:
Seeing and evaluating traffic conditions because of their height;
Processing information because of their limited peripheral vision and visual acuity;
Perceiving correctly the direction and sound of traffic; and
Understanding the use of traffic control devices and crosswalks.
What Speed Limit Should Be Selected for the School Zone?
The value used for the reduced school speed limit varies and is influenced by state and local laws. In some states, the value is
the same for all reduced-speed school zones. In other locations, the value must fall within a range depending on the
established speed limit or is entirely determined on a case-by-case basis. See Table 1 for examples of school speed limit zone
values.

Delaware4 20 mph
Iowa5 No fixed value. Locations are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, usually 10 mph below posted speed limit.

Speed studies provide a sound basis for selecting the proper speed limits for school zones. While it is not common practice to
set speed limits significantly lower than the 85th percentile speed for regulatory speed zones, exceptions to this practice are
often found in school zones.
Factual studies, reason, and sound engineering judgment, rather than emotion, should govern the final decision on the
maximum deviation from the 85th percentile speed that will provide a reasonable and prudent school speed limit.
Where Should the School Speed Limit Zone Begin and End?
In some states, the start and end of the school speed zone are established by state law. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MUTCD) states that the beginning point of a reduced school speed limit zone should be at least 200 ft. in advance of
the school grounds, a school crossing, or other school-related activities. This 200-ft. distance should be increased, however, if
the reduced school speed limit is 30 mph or higher. Researchers suggest the beginning of the school speed limit zone be based
upon the school speed limit as follows:2
Table 2. Suggested beginning of school speed limit zone
School Speed Limit (mph) Distance to Crosswalk or First Driveway (ft.)
20 200
25 200
30 300
35 400
The location of the beginning and end of a school speed limit zone should be based on engineering judgment rather than the
exact location of the school property line or fence. The school speed limit zone should be centered at the location(s) where
children cross the roadway. The beginning and ending points should be selected with appropriate consideration for the
location of other traffic control devices and/or features that could affect the effective implementation of the school speed limit
zone.
School speed limit zones in urban areas, where speeds are 30 mph or less, may have school zones as short as 400 ft. School
speed limit zones in rural areas, where regulatory posted speeds are typically 55 mph or more, will have longer school zones.
The suggested length of school zones in rural areas is 1,000 ft.
Research has shown that speeds are approximately 1 mph higher for every 500 ft. driven within a school zone; therefore,
longer school zones are associated with greater speed variability within the zone.2
When Should a Reduced School Speed Limit Be in Effect?
Generally, the reduced school speed limit zones should be in effect only during specified intervals such as at the start and end
of a school day. While the transportation agency responsible for the roadway operations and maintenance installs the signs,
the times are generally set through consulting with the local school district. Close cooperation is needed between school
officials and those who operate the roadway.
In some locations, the intervals of operation of the flashing beacons (if used) on the school speed
limit sign assemblies may be extended or revised for school events, as agreed upon by the school
district and the entity responsible for operating the flashing beacons. In this case, the flashing
beacons should be in operation only when there is an increase in vehicular activity and/or
pedestrian or bicycle traffic in and around the roadway associated with the school event.
Research has also shown that operating speeds in an active school speed limit zone are at their
lowest close to the start time or end time of the school day.2 Approximately 20 minutes past these
times, the speed increases 1 mph. Automated flashers (example shown in Figure 2) used with
reduced school speed limit assemblies must be coordinated with school officials for half-day
sessions and early release to ensure that the reduced speed is in effect during school crossing
times. Local traffic officials need to coordinate with school officials each year to ensure that the
traffic control plans fit the school arrival and dismissal schedule .
