Motorists are required to obey the posted speed limit in school zones. However, a driver’s failure to stay within the school zone speed limit will not establish liability on its own.
Per Texas Gen. Law, Title 7, §542.206, a plaintiff will need more than evidence of speeding to prove that a driver was the legal cause of the harm. A knowledgeable legal professional experienced in pedestrian accident law may explain the implications of this statute with individual clients.
