The school zones in my area are 30kph, and a lot of people find that excessive and want it slower, so 50 is wild to me.

I believe rural school zones are sometimes 50km/h. In context the non-school zone speed limit is usually 80km/h or more, often with visibility from one horizon to the other and a sprawling parking lot, it's not quite the same as a congested urban school with a driveway big enough to fit a single bus and dozens of cars parked along the curb.

Even when I lived in rural areas, the zones were 30kph where I am from. Parks, and playgrounds, are also generally included.
