What is the speed limit on residential streets?

25 mph
20 mph
45 mph
30 mph

The correct answer is: 25 mph

The speed limit on residential streets is generally 25 mph in most states. This is due to the high volume of pedestrians, children playing, and parked cars on these streets. It is important for drivers to follow this slow speed limit to ensure the safety of everyone in the neighborhood. While some neighborhoods may have a lower speed limit of 20 mph, 45 mph (C) is not a safe speed for residential areas and is more appropriate for larger, less populated roads. Similarly, 30 mph (D) is also a common speed limit for residential streets, but it is still slightly higher than the recommended speed limit of 25 mph. Therefore, A is the best answer as it reflects the typical speed limit for most residential streets.
