School areaPhilippines
12. School area
A school area is a road or group of roads near a school where large numbers of children may walk, cycle, cross the road or enter and leave vehicles. It may be identified by warning signs, zone signs, road markings, traffic-calming measures or flashing lights.
Special speed limits, parking restrictions or access rules may apply permanently or only during school arrival and departure times. Drivers should reduce speed, watch carefully for children and be prepared to stop.

What speed rules apply around schools in the Philippines?
Section 35 provides a maximum of 20 km/h when passing school zones, as well as in crowded streets and the other specified dangerous circumstances. The school-zone wording is not conditional on first seeing children. Follow the applicable controls and slow further whenever needed for safety.
Does a school warning sign in the Philippines automatically set the speed limit?
A children or school warning alerts you to a potential hazard; the enforceable numerical speed limit depends on the applicable law, regulatory signs and any time or variable display. Slow further if children are near the road.
