Though school hours in California might range from about 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Olsen said drivers should still be cautious when passing by a school zone because after-school programs can last until 6 p.m.
In Germany, at least a 3 km/h tolerance (3% of measured speed when speeding over 100 km/h) in favor of the offender is always deducted. This tolerance can increase up to 20% depending on the method of measurement. [52] Fines for speeding depend on how high above the speed limit the measured speed is and where the offense occurred.
Speeding violations in school zones can result in up to 30 days in jail and a $625 fine. Iowa law prohibits law enforcement from implementing citation quotas for speeding or other traffic violations.
In some locations, however, school zone signs will be locked up during school holidays so that motorists can drive to the normal speed limit.

High school is in session from 7:30 a.m. to 2:35 p.m., so cameras check speeds from 6:30 a.m. to 3:35 p.m., with the reduced speed limit in effect around those arrival and dismissal times.
The default school zone speed limit is 15 mph (24 km/h), while some may be 25 to 35 mph (40 to 56 km/h). Exceeding these limits only in the best of driving conditions is considered prima facie evidence of speeding. Altered speed limits are not prima facie.

[165] [166] [128] [180] While group polarization towards safety has shifted the criminal blood alcohol threshold below levels for which the risk is statistically marginal, [6] [181] the tolerance for speeding—of which each speed unit increment carries an equatable risk relative to BAC [6] —remains relatively neglected.
