When you see flashing school zone signs this summer, you still need to slow down.
According to Prince William police, summer school is in session in several county schools until July 24.
More from a Prince William police release:
That means that motorists must obey the flashing lights that indicate lower speeds for school zones, even if you believe the lights are on in error.
Virginia law states that school zone lights come on 1/2-hour before the school’s first bell (AM and PM) and go off 1/2-hour after the first bell. This occurs during the regular school year, but also during summer school.
The Prince William County Police Department reminds motorists to obey all traffic signs and signals, and to use caution while driving through school zones or approaching stopped school buses that have their lights activated.
