Speed limits established by the law must be observed.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only in cities
• D. Only on highways

Answer: (A)

Speed limits established by law must be observed on every roadway. These posted limits are legal maximums you’re required to follow, no matter where you’re driving—cities, rural roads, or highways. You shouldn’t assume you can drive faster just because the road seems clear; the limit applies everywhere. If conditions demand it, you should slow down further, but you can’t exceed the posted limit. There are sometimes temporary or lower limits in effect for work zones, school zones, or adverse weather, and those must be followed. Violating speed limits carries penalties, so the essential idea is to obey the lawful speed limit wherever you drive.
