40 km/h past the school during the times shown, on school days.
What it means
A tall white plate reading SCHOOL ZONE over a red ringed 40 marks the start of the zone. On school days the limit is 40 km/h during the hours printed on the sign, which for most NSW schools are 8 am to 9:30 am and 2:30 pm to 4 pm. Many signs add flashing lights during those times, and white triangles, often called dragon's teeth, may be painted at the lane edges.
Note the clock as you pass the sign, and drop to 40 if the zone is active.
Hold 40 until the END SCHOOL ZONE sign, not just past the gate.
Expect children to dart out near crossings, buses and parked cars.

Right.Not quite. The answer is C.
The usual school zone times are a morning and an afternoon window on school days, so read the sign because a few zones use different hours.
