What is the speed limit in a residential area?

55 mph
35 mph
25 mph
45 mph

The correct answer is: 25 mph

A) 55 mph is incorrect because that is typically the speed limit for highways and interstates. B) 35 mph is incorrect because that is usually the speed limit for main roads and boulevards. D) 45 mph is incorrect because that is also too fast for residential areas and is often the speed limit for smaller highways or rural roads. In most residential areas, the speed limit is 25 mph. This is because residential areas are usually residential neighborhoods with houses on both sides of the road and children or pedestrians present. A slower speed limit is necessary to ensure the safety of these residents. While it may seem inconvenient to drive at a lower speed, it is important to prioritize the safety of those living in the area.
