As the new school year begins, drivers in Oregon are reminded to adhere to school zone speed limits to ensure student safety. Remember, most school speed zones are active from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on school days. Motorists should reduce their speed to 20 mph in these areas, especially when flashing yellow lights are present. These measures help protect students, who may be distracted and harder to see. Slow down and remain vigilant to prevent accidents and ensure a safe return to school.
