During the school year, on every school day, Miami school buses criss cross the city to pick up children to take them to and from their schools. Speed limits are strictly enforced in streets neighboring the schools at time the students arrive by bus in the morning or wait to be picked up in the afternoon.
The school buses are seen here at a staging location to be dispatched to their routes. The posted speed limit is 15 MPH (miles per hour, about 24 kilometers per hour) and the fine is very stiff, upward in the hundreds of dollars leveled against careless drivers breaking this law.
hi there!

Hi. Thanks for visiting. The speed limit is 15 miles per hour (about 24 kilometers per hour) for ALL traffic on all streets surrounding all the schools in Miami and other cities too. The limit applies only during the time the children get off/on the buses or walking/riding bikes to school. Usually, it is between 7:30 am - 8:30 am; and 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm. During these times, the traffic lights flash orange to warn all traffic about the limit, which is strictly enforced.
