The Protect Our Schools Act establishes lower speed limits in school walk zones and increases penalties for speeding in these zones.

The Protect Our Schools Act directs the Department of Transportation to identify school walk zones, areas within school zones with high pedestrian traffic. It mandates lower speed limits in these zones and increases penalties for speeding violations that result in injury to minors. The act also establishes the Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Fund, allocating $10 million for assessing areas likely to be designated school walk zones, training for school crosswalk guards, and public awareness campaigns on pedestrian safety.
