Jesus. Thank you! And what's more, I would argue that misusing a school speed-zone ordinance that way demeans and trivializes the statute itself, which has a very meaningful purpose. Thanks for growing up to not be another internet moron.

I get the nuance that’s pissing you off here. It’s not the ticket but the mislabeling. A speed ticket is a speeding ticket. But saying it’s a school zone infraction when school isn’t happening is, to someone who works with words, pretty frustrating.

But the speed limit is 25 everywhere - the auto revenue machines, er cameras, are mostly in school zones. In June I got a red light infraction by mere inches, and one block later a 35 in a 25. Fun city.

Just thought we'd remind everyone of some of the reasons New Yorkers might be out at 5AM.

Just don't speed. Have full respect for human life and for what I assume is your sincere desire never to harm anyone with your vehicle.

In Australia, school zone reduced speed limits are clearly signposted with the times in which those limits apply (usually 8am to 4pm weekdays). Everyone knows you can drive within the normal higher speed limit outside those times. No school = no reduced limit.

What about stopping at a stop sign, or red light in the middle of the night, when no one is on the road? What would be the utility in that. Clearly, we resemble farm animals ,that still need to be prodded and ticketed bc our response to actual events cannot be discerned.

Yesterday a 15 year old kid in Frisco Tx was killed while riding his bike to school. It was the first day of school and he was crossing a busy street to attend th3 morning session of football practice.

Schools operate during the summer (summer school & programs). Faculty and staff get there early.
