Champ d’application

This standard is applicable to the setting of road traffic signs and markings within school zones, defined as roads within a 150m radius upstream and downstream of the gates of kindergartens, primary schools, and middle schools. It is mandatory for all new or modified traffic signs and markings in these areas. It does not apply to general urban roads outside of designated school zones.

Exigences techniques

This standard specifies the general provisions and specific requirements for traffic signs and markings in school zones. It mandates that signs and markings must coordinate with other traffic safety facilities. Key requirements include using enlarged warning signs and utilizing fluorescent yellow-green backgrounds for warning signs. The standard also specifies that the retroreflective sheeting used should meet the Class IV or V requirements of GB/T 18833-2012. Regarding speed limits, the standard stipulates that the maximum speed limit in school zones should generally not exceed 30 km/h. Speed limit signs must be set either at the entrance of the school zone or as zone speed limit signs at all entrances. Traffic calming measures such as speed bumps or lane width reductions may be used before the speed limit zone. For parking management, the standard requires setting up dedicated school bus parking signs and markings where applicable. It also recommends using yellow box markings at intersections near school gates to prevent congestion and setting up no-parking or time-limited parking signs within a certain range in front of schools.

Méthodes d’essai

The standard does not specify laboratory testing methods but outlines visual and spatial assessment procedures for sign placement. This includes verifying the correct positioning of warning signs (e.g., Children Ahead signs) before the school zone start and pedestrian crossing points, and ensuring the correct layout of speed limit and parking restriction signs according to the provided diagrams.
