Six more schools in Torbay could get 20mph speed limits on surrounding roads as the council pushes ahead with its road safety programme.
The council has asked for public views on the six proposed zones through social media.
Several Torbay schools already have 20mph limits on the streets around them.
Some drivers have said the limits should only apply during term time, and be lifted in the holidays or outside school hours.
One social media response said: "24 hour zones are frustrating and do not improve the safety of school children – because there aren't any!"
But Torbay Council has pointed out that school facilities are often used by adults and children outside core school hours and during holidays.
Feedback is being sought on potential zones at All Saints Babbacombe Primary School, Torquay; Collaton St Mary CofE Primary School; Ellacombe CofE Academy, Torquay; Mayfield Chestnut Centre, Brixham; St Marychurch CofE Primary and Nursery School, Torquay and South Devon College, Paignton.
The council said in a statement: "The school and college sites have been chosen because they are on or near roads with a high level of pedestrian-to-vehicle conflict, and have been brought forward after strong support from the community for earlier schemes.
"The planned zones include nearby residential roads which see a high volume of use by school children. Lower speeds in urban areas help reduce accidents, cut noise, improve air quality and give drivers more time to react."
The new limits would be mandatory at all times and enforced by police.
Schools that already have 20mph limits include Torquay Academy, Cockington Primary School, Torre Church of England Academy, St Cuthbert Mayne School and Barton Hill Academy, all in Torquay. Paignton Academy, Sacred Heart Primary School and Hayes School in Paignton also have them, as do Eden Park Primary School and Brixham College.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents strongly supports 20mph limits near schools, saying there is a clear link between lower vehicle speeds and a significant reduction in casualties.
It says 20mph limits combined with speed humps are the most effective measure, but a simple limit is cheaper and quicker to install, allowing councils to cover wider areas cost-effectively.
The society says drivers should treat school speed limits as a maximum, not a target.
