About School Zone Accidents
School zone accidents involve special circumstances due to reduced speed limits, crossing guards, and the vulnerability of child victims. Drivers must exercise extreme caution in school zones, and penalties for violations are enhanced. Schools and municipalities may share liability if crossings, signage, or crossing guard programs are inadequate.
