What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TEXAS
I turned right from a side street into a school zone. a sign marking the beginning of the school zone was 50 ' before the side street. Of course I couldn't see that sign. the the next sign was nearly a quarter mile away. the cop who cited me was parked just before the second sign and ticket me for 30 mph in a 20.
defered adjudication is $343 for 180 days. It is not the fine that bothers me as much as I had no way of knowing I was in a school zone.
School zone is very long, 3/4 mile, with a slow left curve, not quite 90 degrees over the whole length. cannot see the school until right before the second sign.
It was just a fluke that I was on that road. I live in the neighborhood but only rarely drive that way. I have never gone down the side road before that day.
