Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
You turn onto a quiet local street lined with houses. It is not an alley or a narrow residential roadway, and no speed sign is posted. What is the statutory speed on this street?
Correct answer: 25 mph
Why
In residential districts, children, pets, parked cars and driveways put hazards close to the roadway. Oregon law sets 25 mph there whether a sign is posted or not, and the same 25 mph applies in public parks and on ocean shores where vehicles may drive. A sign can post a different speed, and the basic speed rule can require you to drive slower.
