Council member warns drivers: school‑zone limits apply across marked zone

A council member used council comments to issue the yearly safety reminder that school‑zone speed limits apply throughout the marked zone and to ask motorists to watch for children returning to school and playing in neighborhoods.

"The school zone speed limit is not just on your drive from where the school zone starts to the school, but it's all the way through the school zone," the council member said, urging drivers to "be on the lookout for the kiddos." The remarks were framed as an annual public‑safety reminder and did not include new enforcement measures or a request for updated signage in the provided excerpt.

The presiding officer thanked the speaker for the reminder. The excerpt contains no motion, staff report or vote related to school‑zone enforcement or funding.
