Legal Question in Traffic Law in New Jersey

Speed limit in school zone?

I was recently ticketed for doing 42 in a 25 mph school zone. However, the normal speed limit on the road is 35; it is 25 only when the lights are flashing on the sign that extends over the road. They were not flashing when I was stopped (the kids were already in school-no buses, no crossing guards present, etc). Is the speed limit 25 or 35 in these circumstances? Thanks

It is what the signs say, assuming the signs are legal.

For something like this, you may not need an attorney. I suggest you go there and tell them what happened. See what they will offer you. If they insist on giving you points, ask for more time to get an attorney.
