Pocatello PD’s 10 Days of Back-to-School Safety: Know the School Zone Speed Limit

(Pocatello Police Department, August 21, 2026)

School zones mean SLOW DOWN!

As school gets back into session, remember to watch for school zone signs and obey the posted speed limit.

• Slow down.
• Stay alert.
• Put the phone away.
• Watch for pedestrians and crossing guards.
• Be prepared for stopped school buses.

School zones can be busy and unpredictable. The speed limit isn’t just a number—it’s there to give drivers more time to react.

Give yourself extra time, slow down, and help us keep our students safe.
