True or False: Speed limits are doubled in all school zones.

The statement that speed limits are doubled in all school zones is misleading. In reality, speed limits in school zones are typically reduced during school hours to ensure the safety of children. The common practice is to have a designated speed limit that is lower than the regular posted speed limit, often reduced to around 15 to 25 miles per hour, but not literally doubled.

In school zones, the intent is to provide a safer environment for children during times when they are arriving at or leaving school. This includes clear signage indicating the reduced speed and the specific hours when this limit applies. Thus, stating that speed limits are doubled is incorrect, as the approach is to lower speed limits instead to prioritize pedestrian safety.

Therefore, the correct understanding of speed limits in school zones would be that they are reduced, not doubled.
