Introduced Text

Modifies speed restrictions in Michigan school zones, allowing for flexible enforcement periods.

This bill amends Michigan's speed restrictions in school zones, allowing school superintendents to request flexible enforcement periods based on school activities. It allows for speed limits to be enforced during off-campus lunch periods, field trips, or when students travel between campuses. The enforcement periods can start earlier and extend longer than the standard 30 minutes before and after school hours. The bill also allows for the use of louvered signs, digital message signs, and flashing lights to supplement or replace permanent signs.
