Does the School zone speed sign mean when children are present in school all day or present by the sign?

Answer 1

There's normally a flashing light, right?  If not, you should be fine when school's out, cautious if it's the middle of the school day.  But that doesn't mean if you're caught going twenty over through a school zone off hours a cop won't make a point of it.
