Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
You turn off the highway onto a county gravel road. There is no speed limit sign. What is the maximum lawful speed?
Correct answer: 50 mph
Why
Loose gravel gives your tires less grip, so a car can slide when you brake or steer, and dust can hide other vehicles. That is why the default limit on gravel is lower than on paved county roads. On gravel, 50 mph is often too fast near hills, curves and intersections, where the basic speed rule requires a safe speed.
