Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
You drive out of a town's business district, where the limit was 30 mph, into a rural residence district. No new speed limit sign is posted. You speed up to 40 mph. What is true?
Correct answer: You are over the limit, because the limit here is 35 mph.
Why
A rural residence district is a stretch of road outside business and urban areas where homes line the road for half a mile or more. Driveways, children, mailboxes and people walking make a lower speed necessary. Each kind of district has its own limit, so watch how the roadside changes as well as the signs.
