Depending on the type of residential area, speeds can vary -- either 15mph, 20mph, 25mph, to 35mph. For example, in a small town, a side street is posted at 20mph. Four blocks away is a county maintained road with a solid double line posted as 35mph. Get to know how road markings affect speed limits.
The speed limit for/in residential areas is always 25mph unless otherwise stated, such as, you see a sign that says"15MPH Speed limit". Also school zones(areas near a school) are likely to have a sign saying something like "Speed Limit 15MPH while flashing", this means when the yellow lights on or right above the sign are flashing the speed limit is whatever it says. The only ways for the "while flashing" speed limit is to change(or be "ignored") is if there are police officers and/or crossing guards there directing traffic or if there is a car crash(this would depend on where it happened, how bad the car crash is, how many cars, and any danger zones(for example a car in flames) ).
Generally around 25MPH depending on the area, this will vary (usually between 15 and 35 MPH), but the mean residential speed limit is 25MPH. The prima facie speed limit for residential areas is 25 miles per hour, and most residential areas reinforce this limit with posted signs displaying the 25-mile per hour limit. However, some roadways in sparsely populated residential areas may be posted at the higher limit of 35 miles per hour. Unless you observe a sign that indicates otherwise, you should adhere to the prima facie limit.
Generally, yes. However, most jurisdictions also have laws against impeding traffic or dirving in such a manner as to create a hazard to other vehicles. Fifteen miles an hour in a residential area is probably not going to cause a problem, whilefifteen miles an hour in a 65MPH highway zone will.
The cost of the speeding ticket depends on how fast the driver was going, and it depends on the speed limit for the area.
316.183 Unlawful speed.--(1) No person shall drive a vehicle on a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent under the conditions and having regard to the actual and potential hazards then existing. In every event, speed shall be controlled as may be necessary to avoid colliding with any person, vehicle, or other conveyance or object on or entering the highway in compliance with legal requirements and the duty of all persons to use due care.(2) On all streets or highways, the maximum speed limits for all vehicles must be 30 miles per hour in business or residence districts, and 55 miles per hour at any time at all other locations. However, with respect to a residence district, a county or municipality may set a maximum speed limit of 20 or 25 miles per hour on local streets and highways after an investigation determines that such a limit is reasonable. It is not necessary to conduct a separate investigation for each residence district. The minimum speed limit on all highways that comprise a part of the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways and have not fewer than four lanes is 40 miles per hour, except that when the posted speed limit is 70 miles per hour, the minimum speed limit is 50 miles per hour.(3) No school bus shall exceed the posted speed limits, not to exceed 55 miles per hour at any time.(4) The driver of every vehicle shall, consistent with the requirements of subsection (1), drive at an appropriately reduced speed when:(a) Approaching and crossing an intersection or railway grade crossing;(b) Approaching and going around a curve;(c) Approaching a hill crest;(d) Traveling upon any narrow or winding roadway; and(e) Any special hazard exists with respect to pedestrians or other traffic or by reason of weather or highway conditions.(5) No person shall drive a motor vehicle at such a slow speed as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, except when reduced speed is necessary for safe operation or in compliance with law.(6) No driver of a vehicle shall exceed the posted maximum speed limit in a work zone area.(7) A violation of this section is a noncriminal traffic infraction, punishable as a moving violation as provided in chapter 318.
There is no such thing as a "residential highway."If you are speaking of a residential street - the usual speed in urban and suburban areas, unless otherwise posted, is 25 miles per hour.
Most states have residential speed limits between 10 and 55. A "safe" speed would probably be between 20 and 30, and most states have the highest or lowest speeds for residential areas in that range.
30mph :)
The speed limit will vary depending upon the city you are in and the exact street you are on. Many residential streets have 25 mph speed limits.
30MPH
25 miles per hour
The speed limit in an unposted residential area in Arizona is typically 25 miles per hour. However, please note that speed limits can vary depending on local ordinances, so it's always a good idea to check with local authorities for the specific speed limit in a specific residential area.
it is 30 mph
