A bill to amend 1949 PA 300, entitled “Michigan vehicle code,” by amending section 627a (MCL 257.627a), as amended by 2016 PA 446.
This bill aims to redefine school zones by adjusting their boundaries, the timing, and application of speed limits, and the conditions under which these limits are enforced. It proposes that school zones may extend up to 1,000 feet from a school's property line and details the procedure for setting speed limits within these zones, which can be reduced by up to 20 miles per hour but not below 25 miles per hour during school hours. The bill also introduces measures for schools near high-speed roads, and mandates the use of signage, including digital and flashing signs, to enhance visibility. Additionally, it specifies that violations of these speed limits will result in a civil infraction, ensuring compliance through legal accountability.
