Which of the following statements about school zones is correct?
For a school zone, the key points are which facilities it is designated around and the number for its speed limit (Article 12(1) of the Road Traffic Act). Drivers also have a duty to pay attention to children's safety, separate from following the set measures (paragraph 3).
Answer: ①
Explanation
Under Article 12(1) of the Road Traffic Act, the mayor or similar authority may designate a section of road around facilities used by children, such as kindergartens, elementary schools and special schools, as a school zone and limit the speed of motor vehicles and trams to 30 km/h or less. Paragraph (3) requires drivers both to follow those measures and to drive with attention to children's safety. So 50 km/h, limiting it to high schools and universities, or obeying only the speed limit are all wrong.
