Demerit points for going over the school zone speed limit by 16-30 km/h?

Exceeding a school zone speed limit by 16–30 km/h carries three demerit points. This reflects the added risk to children in school areas and the idea that speeding in these zones earns a higher penalty than smaller overages. The system uses points to show increasing severity, so a moderate overage in a school zone gets a middle-range penalty. Smaller overages would result in fewer points, while larger overages or other offences would bring more points. The goal is to deter driving too fast where children are present.
