Warning Signs
School Zone Sign
The five-sided (pentagon) sign with two figures marks a school zone — reduced speed limits apply when children are present.
What This Sign Means
School zone signs are the only pentagon-shaped signs on Alberta roads. In most municipalities the school zone limit is 30 km/h during posted hours on school days.
What You Should Do
Slow to the posted school zone speed during effective hours, watch for children near the roadway, and never pass another vehicle inside a school zone.
Knowledge Test Tip
Three guaranteed test topics: pentagon shape = school, 30 km/h default limit, and passing is prohibited in school and playground zones during effective hours.
