Passing target: 24/30 correct (TLA practice target)
Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
What is the reliable way to know the maximum speed for the road segment you are using?
Correct answer: Read the posted speed-limit signs and monitor the speedometer.
Why
Watch for posted changes and confirm your actual speed rather than estimating it from surrounding traffic. The pace of other vehicles is not proof of the legal limit. A new sign can change the limit for your segment, so keep scanning and compare the speedometer with the current posting.
