What is the speed limit when passing a school or playground when children are present?

  1. 25 mph

  2. 35 mph

  3. 55 mph

  4. 65 mph

The correct answer is: 25 mph

It is important to always follow the posted speed limit when passing a school or playground when children are present. The speed limit near schools and playgrounds is generally lower, usually around 25 mph, in order to ensure the safety of children who may be present. Option B and C are both higher than the recommended speed limit and could potentially cause harm to children if they were to run into the street. Option D, while fast enough for a highway, is not appropriate for a school or playground zone. It is important to always be aware of your surroundings and follow the designated speed limit to keep children safe.
