During what hours do the higher traffic penalties (Enforcement Decree Appended Table 10) apply to violations such as running a signal, speeding, or obstructing pedestrians on a crosswalk in a school zone?
💡 Hint
The increased traffic penalties in protection zones apply not all day but only during the hours when many children, elderly and disabled people are out, with fixed start and end times (Article 93(2) of the Enforcement Decree). Memorize the exact times so you do not confuse them with similar ones.
Answer: ④
Explanation
Article 93(2) of the Enforcement Decree applies the Appended Table 10 traffic penalties to signal, speeding, pedestrian-protection, and stopping/parking violations in school zones, silver zones and disabled protection zones from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. At other times the ordinary traffic penalties (Appended Table 8) apply, but drivers must still take care of children in protection zones at any hour.
