Unless otherwise posted, the speed limit is ____ on limited-access highways.
- 70 mph ✓
- 55 mph
- 45 mph
- 30 mph
Answer: A. 70 mph
Unless otherwise posted, the speed limit is 70 mph on limited-access highways.
Why this is the answer
The handbook's standard speed limit list puts limited-access highways at 70 mph. It also says these listed speeds are maximums except where otherwise posted, so the 70 figure applies when no sign says something different. The same list gives 55 for streets and highways and 30 for municipal, business, or residential areas, which shows the limited-access category is treated separately. That directly matches the bank answer.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. 55 mph — 55 mph is the standard maximum for streets and highways, not for limited-access highways.
- C. 45 mph — 45 mph does not appear in the handbook's standard speed limit list for this situation.
- D. 30 mph — 30 mph is the standard maximum for municipal, business, or residential areas, not limited-access highways.
Remember it
Link "limited access" with the top number in the handbook's standard speed list: 70.
