School Zones:
- In effect on school days only
- Times the speed limit is 30km/hr – 8:00am – 9:30am ; 11:am – 1:30pm ; 3:00pm – 4:30pm
- A municipality may change the times noted above, but if they do so, the times must accompany the sign
- Vehicles are not permitted to pass other vehicles travelling in the same direction when the school zone is in effect
Playground Zones:
- In effect every day from 8:30 am until 1 hr after sunset
- Times may vary depending on the municipality, but alternate times must accompany the sign
- Vehicles are not permitted to pass other vehicles travelling in the same direction when the school zone is in effect
