School & pedestrian
School zone
A school zone — slow down and watch for children.
What it means
A fluorescent yellow-green pentagon marks a school zone or school crossing. Its unique five-sided shape and bright colour are designed to catch your eye early.
What to do
Slow down, watch for children and crossing guards, and be ready to stop. Obey any posted reduced school-zone speed limit.
