Unless otherwise posted, what is the speed limit in a residential area?

  1. 20 mph

  2. 25 mph

  3. 30 mph

  4. 35 mph

The correct answer is: 30 mph

The correct speed limit in a residential area, unless otherwise posted, is 25 mph. This limit is designed to ensure the safety of pedestrians, especially children, and to reduce the risk of accidents in areas where people are likely to be walking or biking. It's important to note that while many might think of higher speeds as acceptable in wider or less congested roads, residential areas are typically populated with homes and community spaces where slower speeds promote safety. Recognizing the appropriate speed limit helps drivers navigate these spaces responsibly, keeping in mind the potential presence of pedestrians and pets.
