Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
You turn off the highway onto a gravel township road. No speed limit is posted. What is the highest speed that North Dakota law presumes is lawful on this road?
Correct answer: 55 mph
Why
North Dakota presumes 55 mph is lawful on gravel, dirt and loose-surface roads, and on paved two-lane county and township roads with no posted limit. Loose gravel gives your tires much less grip than pavement, so a safe speed is often lower. Slow down and avoid sudden steering or braking on gravel.
