School Zones

The Town Council of Pagosa Springs has adopted school zones to increase the safety of students and visitors to the area's schools. 

The school zone is the roadway (or roadways) immediately adjacent to the school, usually extending one to two blocks in each direction. Fines are increased in the school zone during morning and afternoon hours. Special signing is used - crossing signs, speed signs, flashing beacons, etc. - so that motorists know to treat the area with special care and attention. The areas established by the Town Council are shown in the maps below. Careful consideration of the topography and the adjacent schools was used to develop the boundaries. The physical roadside markings are the official demarcation of the beginning and the end of the school zones, the attached maps are an approximation.
