Observation, Speed & SpaceStandalone practice
You drive on a residential street in Rhode Island. You have not seen a speed limit sign. What is the speed limit?
Correct answer: 25 mph
Why
Residential streets have children, pedestrians, bicyclists and cars that back out of driveways, so the limit is low. In other places, the limit with no sign is 50 mph in daytime and 45 mph at night, and many highways are posted at higher limits. Even below the limit, you must drive slower when conditions require it.
