Question Analysis
The Texas DPS Driver Handbook states that school zones are marked with signs and pavement markings. A reduced speed limit is in effect when the yellow lights on a school zone sign are flashing or during specific times posted on the sign. An 'End school zone' sign is used to indicate the point where the reduced speed limit for the school zone no longer applies, and normal speed limits resume. This sign is typically placed at the far end of the school zone after the school area has been passed.
Correct Answer Analysis
Correct Answer: The end of a reduced speed zone.
The 'End school zone' sign specifically marks the termination of the school zone, meaning the reduced speed limit (often 20 mph) is no longer in effect and drivers may resume the regular posted speed limit. Therefore, it indicates the end of a reduced speed zone.
Wrong Options Analysis
Option: That the speed limit is 20 mph.
This is incorrect because the sign does not set a speed limit; it ends the reduced speed zone. The 20 mph speed limit is typically indicated by a 'School Zone' sign with a speed limit plaque, not by the 'End school zone' sign.
Option: The beginning of a reduced speed zone.
This is incorrect because the 'End school zone' sign marks the conclusion, not the beginning, of a reduced speed zone. The beginning is indicated by a 'School Zone' or 'Begin school zone' sign.
Option: The increased possibility of encountering pedestrians.
This is incorrect because the sign does not warn of increased pedestrian presence; it signals the end of the school zone where such warnings are no longer necessary. Signs like 'School Zone' or 'Pedestrian Crossing' warn of pedestrians.
