Is A School Zone In Effect During A Teacher Strike?

[toysareforboys]

A couple of weeks ago we had some teacher strikes. I was wondering with students not at school during this time, would it still count as a school zone?

Yep! I asked this question to the prosecutor a long long time ago because it was late at night and I still got my fined doubled for being in a school zone (242 in a 40, wasn't cheap ).

Their answer: Kids were more likely to be around the area, even after hours, using the schools basketball hoops, after school teacher meeting, etc. etc. So the school zone stands 24/7/365.

The signs are still posted arent they? Its not like they are running around removing the signs until the strike is over. Its still a school there and therefore a 'school zone'

I also asked two cops, it started a debate between them.

It shouldn't have. A speed limit is a speed limit, unless conditions are expressly put upon it.

Saw a sign "School Zone Don't hit a Child" Someone scribbled in "Wait for a teacher".

The teachers are on strike, not the school. Daycare, other activities may not be affected.
