can Tesla read school zones now

kekkuy | 2025-12-02 21:45 | 40 views

I was passing a school zone today and then under the speed limit a 25 with a ! appeared. I'm wondering if it could now read school zones My passenger wasn't able to capture a picture

Usually, I have seen YouTube tester report that it does for sure seem to now notice the signs. Like everything with FSD though, probably not every time in every location.

HW3 or 4?

My car has trouble differentiating between school zone times. The school zone is only active during certain hours, but the car will switch to the school zone speed no matter what time of day.

Yep this has happened to me many times, and it can get dangerous when it slows down rapidly

Yes

kekkuy 2025-12-02 22:14

HW4

710rosingodtier 2025-12-02 22:14

Of course. Damn

Never had an issue with it spotting 40 zones and times in aus.

Mine does. We have a light that blinks when it’s in effect. Not sure if it works with just the times.

LOL. Going from 35 to 20 for an active school zone is "dangerous" 🙄🙄🙄🙄

I just had this happen yesterday. Normal speed limit is 40 with SZ at 25. Ive always had to take it off FSD and slow myself (if no one right in front of me), but on the way to work is started slowing just as I was getting ready to take over. FINALLY!

It seems to work if they have blinking lights but I've never once seen it work if there aren't blinking lights.

That would be nice... Mine can't even figure out the correct speed on the main highway.

LoneStarGut 2025-12-03 03:38

It can be when it is not at the correct time, like middle of day, night or a weekend.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I have HW3 on a 2019 Model 3. Works sometimes. Other times it doesn’t. Usually I just manually adjust my speed (but still go 25mph because 20mph is just stupid)

OddMove2382 2025-12-03 04:11

So I have a school right around the corner. When I leave the house, school zone is not active and my M3 does 35mph..When I return it is during let out time and the zone lights are on. The M3 slows to 20 exactly at the point the sign says school zone.and speeds up to 35 at the end of the zone. Exactly as it should.

The one I passed doesn't have a light. It's the one that says to go 25 if there are kids present. That might be why it had an ! as it didn't know if it had to go 25 or 55.

Asleep-Percentage-27 2025-12-03 05:30

Haven’t seen it do that. It also depends on what’s the speed limit outside the school zone. Mine is 45 and it usually does +5 over following traffic down to 20. I had a pickup tight behind me thought I was brake checking him and almost wanted me to pull over. I take control on that street now

Natriumchlorit 2025-12-03 10:40

It’s his fucking problem when following tight. Even when school zone is inactive there can be kids crossing the street or whatever.

ElQuistador0523 2025-12-04 01:53

My ‘26 Juniper 14.2.1 reads a static sign that says “when blinking” as 15 mph all of the time, with and without the blinking light. It then switches back to 30 mph after about 150’ of travel, even before the “end of school zone” sign is reached. It also completely ignores another similar school zone sign on another street, and ignores the blinking light having really high on a pole

Probably a safe option to go with around school zones.

Danimusrobbs 2025-12-05 15:56

I just went through one today with a huge sign and big flashing lights. It completely ignored it. I’m still in V13 though.
