Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
You are driving through a suburban business and residential district. Unless a different limit is posted, what speed limit does New Jersey law set for this kind of district?
Correct answer: 35 mph
Why
The New Jersey limits, unless otherwise posted, are 25 mph in school zones and in business or residential districts, 35 mph in suburban business and residential districts, 50 mph on non-posted rural roads, and 55 or 65 mph where posted on certain highways. The law requires signs to give notice of the 35 mph limit. Any limit is a maximum: drive slower when the road is wet, visibility is poor or pedestrians are near.
