Hey I got a ticket for going 57 in a school zone where the posted limit is 50, except the road only borders the far end of the school yard at the tip of its soccer field, with no way for students to exit, and the road itself is 4 lanes and should really have a speed limit of 60, and it was Sunday… Easter Sunday to be precise, so it was literally a school zone surrounded by days off.
Imagine if I hadn’t been caught! I’m a Menace II Society, for sure.
I believe rural school zones are sometimes 50km/h. In context the non-school zone speed limit is usually 80km/h or more, often with visibility from one horizon to the other and a sprawling parking lot, it’s not quite the same as a congested urban school with a driveway big enough to fit a single bus and dozens of cars parked along the curb.

Where do you live with a 50km/h school zone? That is psychotic.
I don’t know about the guy you are asking, but I have multiple school zones with a 50kph limit in my area as well.
The school zones in my area are 30kph, and a lot of people find that excessive and want it slower, so 50 is wild to me.

Even when I lived in rural areas, the zones were 30kph where I am from. Parks, and playgrounds, are also generally included.
