Warning signs
School zone — speed and hours tab
What it means
When the tab shows both a speed limit and hours, the limit applies during those hours. On this sign, 30 km/h is in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on school days.
Yellow diamonds (and five-sided yellow-green school signs) warn of hazards ahead.

How to recognise it
The fluorescent yellow-green school zone sign with a white tab listing a speed limit and the hours it is in effect; here 30 km/h, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on school days.
Where you will see it
At the start of a school zone where the local hours need to be spelled out on the sign.
What to do when you see it
- 1.Read the hours on the tab and obey the limit during exactly those hours.
- 2.Slow down before the sign, not after it, so you are at the limit when the zone begins.
On the knowledge test
The rule to remember: if hours are printed on the tab, those hours govern. The test pairs this sign with the tab that shows only a speed to see whether you know the difference.
