Q:
With the various closures for COVID-19 precautions, are school zone speed limits in effect when no students are allowed in the building on a given day? I drive daily through two school zones on Western Avenue and it seems prudent to go 20 miles per hour without any clarification from authorities, though most people tend to drive through those areas at 30 miles per hour (and offer “hand gestures” to encourage me to speed up).
