These hours may vary for different towns and cities according to municipal bylaws. If a municipality does establish times different from these, the times will be posted beneath the school sign. You are not permitted to pass or attempt to pass another vehicle travelling in the same direction within a school zone, when the zone is in effect. The speed limit for both urban and rural school zones is 30 km/h unless otherwise posted. School zone ends: A school zone ends where a traffic sign indicates: 1. a higher maximum speed, or 2. the end of the school zone. School area: When you approach a school sign without a speed sign attached to it, you are entering a school area. This sign is to alert drivers that children may be walking or crossing the road and you must use caution when driving through the school area. School crosswalk: This sign alerts drivers to watch for pedestrians. TO
