Bill overview
This bill aims to improve pedestrian safety around schools in California by temporarily lowering the default speed limit in school zones. Initially, it would allow local authorities to set a prima facie speed limit of 20 mph until January 1, 2031. After that date, a 20 mph speed limit would become the standard for school zones, subject to certain conditions like the presence of ‘children are present’ signs. Furthermore, the bill expands the definition of a ‘school zone’ and modifies speed limit rules in residential areas near schools, potentially creating a state-mandated program requiring local adjustments to speed limit signage.
