Regulatory, Lane & Parking SignsStandalone practice
You see this white sign on an interstate. The road is dry and clear, but you do not feel safe driving as fast as its lower number. What should you do?
Correct answer: Use a different road where you can drive at a safe speed.
Why
Some high-speed roads post a minimum speed along with the maximum. In good conditions you must drive at least the minimum so you do not become a hazard to other traffic; if that speed is too fast for you, choose another road. Driving below the minimum is allowed only when it is needed for safety, such as in bad weather.
