Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
You are on a Maryland highway in a business district. No different lawful speed limit applies. What is the statutory maximum?
Correct answer: 30 mph.
Why
The statutory maximum is 30 mph on a highway in a business district unless another lawful limit applies. Other statutory categories, posted alterations and specified local provisions can differ. A maximum is not a promise of safe speed: slow further when traffic, pedestrians, visibility or road conditions require it.
