Question: In Ontario, what speed rule applies in a playground zone during posted hours?
Answer options:
- Standard 50 km/h applies ✅ the limit is 40 km/h
- There is no specific rule
- Posted speed always applies
Correct answer: the limit is 40 km/h
Explanation: In Ontario, the default speed limit in playground zones during designated hours is 40 km/h to protect vulnerable children. The standard 50 km/h limit is incorrect because it only applies to general built-up areas without specific zone restrictions. Believing there is no specific rule or that the standard posted speed always overrides these statutory reductions ignores provincially mandated safety zones. Under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act, municipalities have the authority to establish these 40 km/h school and playground zone limits. G1 candidates must memorize this reduced limit, as understanding school and playground zone speed rules is a heavily tested safety concept on the official exam.
