What is the speed limit in a school zone?

  1. 15mph

  2. 20mph

  3. 25mph

  4. 30mph

The correct answer is: 15mph

School zones have lower speed limits to ensure the safety of children crossing the street or playing nearby. The correct speed limit for a school zone is 15mph, which is significantly slower than the regular speed limit on most roads. This option is correct because it is the lowest speed among the choices, making it the safest option. The other options, while still relatively slow, are not the designated speed limit for school zones and may pose a danger to children and other pedestrians. Therefore, the correct answer is 15mph.
