· For arrival, the reduced speed limit in the school zones will be effective beginning 45 minutes before the beginning of the school for the day and end 15 minutes after the beginning of school. For dismissal, the reduced speed limit in the school zones will be effective 15 minutes before the dismissal of school for the day and will end 45 minutes after the dismissal of school.
· The overlapping school periods at McKinney North High School will be difficult to effectively sign; therefore, Staff recommends adding a sign, mounted below the speed limit sign, that says "When Flashing" (in lieu of the time period sign).
