SOP? The added "reduced speed limits" bit seems like the author's attempt at hiding SOPness Denazz (talk) 19:32, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- "School zone" is only transparent if you are familiar with the concept or phenomenon. The term actually has the alternative meaning of "designated geographic areas that determine which schools children will attend based on their home address". Instead of deleting this article on spurious grounds, perhaps it would be better to add the second meaning. Bathrobe (talk) 00:17, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Do people refer to roads near churches as a "church zone" or roads near supermarkets as a "store zone" or the ones near shopping malls as a "mall zone" like they refer to roads near schools as "school zones"? I don't think they typically do. 2600:1700:4410:47A0:2D97:7436:9597:69F8 01:03, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Where I live, both Bathrobe's meaning (a school's enrolment zone) and the meaning in the entry (a reduced speed zone on a road) are current. Clearly not SOP imo. Keep and add a second definition. This, that and the other (talk) 01:29, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. See, e.g., Dennis Prager and Mark Joseph, No Safe Spaces (2019): "Driving 45 in a school zone is not the same thing as vehicular homicide". Presumes foreknowledge of a school zone as a speed limit area. bd2412 T 18:00, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per above. ScribeYearling (talk) 13:07, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
Nobody except nominator in favour of deletion, so RFD-kept. I added the second def proposed by Bathrobe; I don't think any &lit tricks are useful or necessary here. This, that and the other (talk) 23:28, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
