In a school zone, what is the maximum speed limit?

  1. 10 mph

  2. 15 mph

  3. 25 mph

  4. 35 mph

The correct answer is: 15 mph

The maximum speed limit in a school zone is typically 15 mph for the safety of students and pedestrians. Option A (10 mph) was not chosen because it may be too slow for traffic to flow smoothly. Option C (25 mph) and D (35 mph) were not correct because they are above the average speed limit on most school zones. Keeping a low speed limit in a school zone is crucial in preventing accidents, so it is important to follow this rule.
