Is the new school speed limit in California 15 mph?

Question

I took my permit test today and I didn't get it because I missed 9. I was reading it over and came across a "wrong" answer question that asked what the speed limit in a school zone is. I marked 15mph because I had the knowledge it had gone down from 25 to 15mph this January. Is this really a new law?

Answer 1

I go for the idea of 15 mph, but it all depends on the area the school is located it remains 25mph. We live near a school, and there has been no way in God's green earth to get some of these parents to slow down. I hope the day never comes that a child is hit by a car near our house.

Answer 2

I have never heard of this.   Where did you read it?  As far as I'm aware it's still 25.

Answer 3

yes and no the speed limit is still 25 unless its changed by

the jurdisction of the city of where the school is located

(which cities can do )

so statewide is answer is 25 Mph
