What is the speed limit on a residential street?

25 mph
35 mph
45 mph
55 mph

The correct answer is: 25 mph

Residential streets are generally considered to be low-speed environments, designed for local residents and pedestrians. The speed limit on a residential street is much lower compared to main roads and highways. Option A, 25 mph, is the recommended speed limit for residential streets by the National Association of City Transportation Officials. Options B, C, and D are higher speeds that are generally not appropriate for residential areas and could pose a risk to the safety of residents and pedestrians. It is important to always follow the posted speed limit and adjust your speed accordingly when driving in a residential area.
