Waze lets you know when you're approaching a school zone, so you can adjust your driving and slow down if needed. School zones are usually active only during specific hours on school days.
Note: School zones are added to the map based on reports from our partners and map editors. If a school zone wasn't reported by an editor or partner, Waze may not know about it.
