School zone flashers are installed on the basis of the safety of
children walking to public schools. The flashers are timed to begin
flashing 40 minutes before school starts and to stop flashing 5 minutes
after school is in session each school day. The flashers are programmed
to begin flashing 5 minutes before school ends and to stop flashing
40 minutes after school ends. Therefore, flash times will vary by
type of school (elementary, elementary with kindergarten, middle,
and high schools).
School zone speed limits on flashers are typically 15 mph less than
the regular posted speed limit for a particular street. Go to the
Knox County
Schools Web site for the official school schedule. School
flashers at private schools are paid for by the private school, but
the Traffic Engineering Section provides maintenance and programming.
