School Zone sign
You are approaching a school. Reduced speed limits usually apply during posted hours.
How to recognise it
This sign is a five sided pentagon in fluorescent yellow green, reserved for schools, pedestrians and bicycles. The five sided pentagon is reserved for schools, and the fluorescent yellow green colour is used only for schools, pedestrians and bicycles. Speed limits here are usually enforced far more aggressively than elsewhere.
What the test wants you to know
The five sided shape is used for nothing except schools. Fines in a school zone are commonly doubled, and passing a stopped school bus with red lights flashing carries its own much heavier penalty.
Practise it
Reading about a sign is not the same as recognising it in half a second with an examiner watching. Every state road signs test on this site shows the sign and asks you to name it, then shows four faces and asks you to pick the right one.
