Regulatory, Lane & Parking SignsStandalone practice
On a clear, dry day, you pass a white rectangular sign with the words SPEED LIMIT and the number 50. Traffic around you moves at about 60 mph. What is the fastest speed at which you may lawfully drive here?
Correct answer: 50 mph, because the number on the sign is the maximum
Why
A posted limit is the highest lawful speed in good conditions. You must go slower when curves, traffic, bad weather or people near the road make that speed unsafe. Many crashes happen because drivers go too fast for the conditions, and in some conditions even 10 mph is too fast.
