What should you look for near a school to adjust your driving?

When you’re driving near a school, you must slow down and be prepared for kids who can appear suddenly. The key cue is signs that mark a school zone and show reduced speed limits during posted hours. Those signs tell you exactly when to slow down, because the area around schools is full of pedestrians, especially during start and end times of the day. You may also see flashing lights that indicate when the lower limit is in effect, and you should obey them. Stay extra alert for school buses stopping with their red arms out and for crossing guards guiding kids at crosswalks. Large billboards about school supplies aren’t relevant to driving safety in this context, constant signals that never change don’t communicate a school-area rule, and general road construction signs don’t specifically alert you to kids in the area.
