	School zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In many U.S. states, elementary schools, middle schools (or junior high schools), and high schools often have different speed limits, which are set lower for the younger children.
		Fines for speeding are also often increased, or in some states the "grace" (usually anything less than 10 MPH, or up to 15km/h) normally allowed over the posted limit is eliminated.
		A school zone is only applicable during posted weekday hours when school is in session, usually for about one hour before school begins and after it ends.

	School zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A school zone refers to the area of a street near a school, where the speed limit is reduced to protect student pedestrians.
		Most cities have this indicated by flashing amber lights set on a 7-day timer, however some rural areas expect drivers to read the hours on a sign.
		If the police use the signs to stop someone even when school is not in session, this is considered a ticket trap.

	Sugar Land's School Zone Flasher System
		The result of the new school zone flasher system is a major reduction in staff time spent in reprogramming flashers.
		When the clocks inside school zone flashers are set manually on-site, they are as accurate as a particular technicians’ wristwatch.
		With programming performed centrally, all school zone flashers are synchronized to within seconds as opposed to a disparity of 10 to 15 minutes, as was the case in the past.
