Figure 7B-5. Example of Signing for a School Zone with a School Speed Limit and a School Crossing
This figure illustrates an example of signing for a school zone with a school speed limit and a school crossing.
A vertical roadway with two-way traffic is shown with one T-shaped intersection at each end of the roadway to the right and two in the middle section to the left. Opposite the upper left-hand intersection, two rectangular shapes are shown to the east side of the roadway, representing a school and parking lot.
At the bottom of the figure, a sign assembly is shown to the right of the vertical roadway in advance of a T-shaped intersection on the right and facing northbound traffic. An upward-pointing pentagon-shaped fluorescent yellow-green sign with a black border and black symbols of two left-facing children walking is shown above a horizontal rectangular fluorescent yellow-green plaque with a black border and the word "SCHOOL" in black. The plaque is marked "optional."
In advance of the lower left-hand intersection, a square white plaque is shown with a black border and the words "BEGIN HIGHER FINES ZONE" in black on four lines.
Just beyond the lower left-hand intersection, a sign assembly is shown to the right of the roadway. This sign assembly is shown composed of a horizontal rectangular fluorescent yellow-green plaque with a black border and the word "SCHOOL" in black. Mounted below it, a vertical rectangular white sign is shown with a black border and the words "SPEED LIMIT 20" in black on three lines, with a large numeral "20." Mounted below it, a horizontal rectangular white plaque is shown with the words "7:30-8:30 AM" and "2:30-3:30 PM" in black on two lines.
Beyond the school to the right of the roadway and in advance of the upper right-hand intersection, a sign assembly is shown to the right of the roadway and facing northbound traffic. The sign is shown as a vertical rectangular white sign with a black border and the words "SPEED LIMIT 45" in black and marked as "optional." It is shown mounted above another vertical rectangular white sign with a black border and the words "END SCHOOL SPEED LIMIT" in black on four lines.
Just beyond the upper right-hand intersection, a square white plaque is shown with a black border and the words "END HIGHER FINES ZONE" in black on four lines. To the right of this plaque, the word "OR" is shown and another square white plaque is shown with a black border and the words "END SCHOOL ZONE" in black on three lines.
On the left side of the roadway from the top to the bottom of the figure, the same series and placements of sign are shown facing southbound traffic.
