School and Residential Zone - Driver theory Test

If you drive into a marked school zone

Entering a Moroccan school zone requires immediate speed reduction, often to 30-40 km/h. Lower speeds provide safer reaction time for children crossing the road or moving unpredictably before and after school hours.

At residential streets with speed bumps or warning signs

Moroccan residential streets often have speed bumps and warning signs signalling speed limits generally under 40 km/h. Observing these effectively helps protect children, cyclists, and pets in crowded neighborhoods.

When you see a crossing guard at a school zone crosswalk

Drivers must stop and yield when crossing guards are present, ensuring all children and caretakers cross safely. It is illegal to proceed until the guard signals that the crosswalk is clear.

If a school bus flashes warning lights or stops for loading

Vehicles behind or approaching a stopped school bus with flashing signals must stop completely. This provides safe conditions for children entering or exiting the bus and prevents dangerous overtaking.

While entering a school zone just before arrival or dismissal times

Drivers should be maximally vigilant for children running, cycling, or moving unpredictably. Slower speed and alertness significantly reduce the risk of accidents during these busy periods near schools.

At crosswalks marked near schools or playgrounds

Moroccan crosswalks in school zones require drivers to slow and be ready to stop if any pedestrian, child, or crossing guard approaches. Early preparation prevents sudden braking and ensures a safe crossing.

When you encounter temporary traffic cones and signs during school rush hours

Temporary cones and warning signs often control speed and direction near schools. Strictly observing these is crucial to guide traffic and safeguard children during peak times.

If children or families enter the crosswalk from between parked vehicles

Children may appear suddenly between parked cars in residential areas. Drivers must reduce speed and watch for movement from gaps, creating time to stop safely for pedestrians.

At a residential street during evening hours when children play outdoors

Moroccan suburbs often have children playing outside into evening. Driving well below the posted limit improves reaction time and gives children space to move or cross safely without warning.

When approaching a school entrance blocked by buses

School entrances may be blocked by buses loading or unloading. Drivers should stop at a greater distance to avoid crowding the zone and ensure all children have safe access between vehicles and school gates.

If a playground is adjacent to the road

Moroccan roads close to playgrounds demand additional speed reduction. Slowing ensures higher safety for both children and supervising adults using nearby crossings or sidewalks.

When entering a residential cul-de-sac where children often cycle or play

Moroccan cul-de-sacs require extra caution and reduced speed, especially at corners, because children may suddenly enter the street. Slower maneuvers prevent collisions and ensure safety for residents.

If a crossing guard uses a hand-held stop sign at a school crosswalk

Drivers must wait until the crossing guard lowers the sign and clearly signals to proceed. This provides children ample time to finish crossing and ensures orderly traffic management near schools.

At marked pedestrian zones around schools or parks

Drivers are not allowed to overtake other vehicles around pedestrian zones in school or park districts, minimizing unexpected encounters with children and maintaining safe traffic flow.

When children are visible on sidewalks waiting for school transport

Maintaining greater distance from curb and avoiding close passes protects children waiting for buses or vehicles, keeping them safely away from moving traffic, especially in crowded areas.

If warning lights on a school zone sign begin flashing

Flashing lights signal active arrival or dismissal times in Moroccan school zones. Drivers must immediately reduce speed in these active periods, greatly enhancing safety for all students.

While following a school bus preparing to stop in a residential area

Drivers must anticipate and be prepared to stop as soon as the school bus indicates with signals or slows down. Quick readiness prevents unsafe overtaking and protects children about to exit the bus.

When you see mobile crossing guards (staff, police, or volunteers) guiding groups of children

All drivers must fully comply with signals from mobile crossing guards, temporarily overriding regular traffic rules to prioritize child safety at busy crossings during school events.

If narrow streets near schools or playgrounds are congested with parked cars

Congested parking near schools reduces visibility for pedestrians and children. Drivers should crawl slowly while scanning carefully for anyone passing between parked vehicles or suddenly crossing the street.

At residential driveways where children are active nearby

Drivers must avoid blocking or stopping across driveways in residential areas during school hours, as clear driveways allow children and families direct, safe access to sidewalks and crossings.

When approaching temporary barriers marking off school entry or play zones

Temporary barriers near schools or playgrounds indicate restricted areas drivers must not enter or cross. Observing and respecting these boundaries keeps vehicular and pedestrian spaces clearly separated for maximum safety.
