Practice question

What should a driver do when driving through a school zone?

  1. Always obey the minimum speed limit
  2. Maintain the same speed that you were going before entering the school zone
  3. Stay to the right side of the road
  4. Stop and ask for directions

Answer: A — Always obey the minimum speed limit

When driving through a school zone, it is important for drivers to obey the minimum speed limit because there are likely to be children present and it is important to drive at a slower speed to ensure their safety. Maintaining the same speed that you were going before entering the school zone (Option B) may be too fast for the school zone area and could put children at risk. Staying to the right side of the road (Option C) is important, but it is not the most important thing for a driver to do in a school zone. Asking for directions (Option D) is not relevant to safe driving in a school zone and can be distracting for the driver.
