School zone rules are enforced during a specific time frame to ensure the safety of children during peak school hours. The correct answer indicates that the enforcement starts at 8 am and continues until 9:30 am. This time frame encompasses the arrival period for students, which is crucial for reducing speed limits and increasing driver vigilance in areas where children are likely walking or biking to school.

In many jurisdictions, including Alberta, school zone regulations are designed to be in effect not only during school hours but also before and after, accommodating drop-off and pick-up times. By extending until 9:30 am, the rules account for any late arrivals and ensure that drivers remain cautious as children may still be present on or near school grounds.

Understanding this timeframe is essential for drivers to maintain safety standards and adhere to traffic laws in school zones, ultimately helping to protect the well-being of students.
