SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:

School crossing zones. Increases the maximum boundaries of a school crossing zone from 600 feet to 750 feet from the limits of school property.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

School crossing zones. Authorizes the local governing body of a county, city, or town to place a "school crossing" sign at any location within the locality. Current law authorizes such placement by the council of the city or town or board of supervisors of a county maintaining its own system of secondary roads. The bill increases the default boundaries of a school crossing zone from 600 feet to 750 feet from the limits of school property and authorizes the governing bodies of cities, towns, and counties in Planning District 8 to decrease the speed limit in school crossing zones below 25 miles per hour without an engineering and traffic investigation, provided that such decreased speed limit is indicated by appropriate signs.
