What is the Speed Limit for Business/Residential Districts?

• A. 25 mph
• B. 15 mph
• C. 35 mph
• D. 45 mph

Answer: (A)

The standard speed limit in business and residential districts is 25 mph unless a sign sets a different limit. This lower limit helps protect pedestrians, children, and drivers entering or leaving driveways, since these areas have more frequent intersections, parked cars, and people near the road. Always follow posted signs, and adjust your speed for conditions like weather or heavy traffic. Higher numbers like 35 mph or 45 mph apply on other types of roads, not in these districts.
