Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
You drive on a residential side street inside a city. It is not a state route, an alley or a school zone, and you see no speed limit sign. What is the speed limit under Ohio law?
Correct answer: 25 mph
Why
These limits are prima-facie limits: a faster speed is presumed unlawful unless a sign sets another limit. Residential streets often have parked cars, driveways and children, so a speed below 25 mph can be the safe choice. You must always be able to stop within the clear distance ahead.
