Oklahoma HB2979 establishes school zones on state highways upon local jurisdiction request, setting a 45 mph speed limit.
Oklahoma HB2979, known as the Talyn Bain Act, mandates the Department of Transportation to establish school zones on state highways if requested by local jurisdictions. These zones apply to highways adjacent to school property lines within 150 yards. The speed limit in these zones is set at 45 mph, enforced when beacons on school zone signage flash, during school drop-off and pick-up times, and any additional hours approved by the Department. Local jurisdictions are responsible for maintaining and operating school zone signage and equipment.
