What is the speed limit in a residential area?

  1. 55 MPH

  2. 65 MPH

  3. 35 MPH

  4. 25 MPH

The correct answer is: 25 MPH

In a residential area, the speed limit is typically set at 25 MPH. This is to ensure the safety of residents and pedestrians who may be walking or playing in the area. Options A and B (55 MPH and 65 MPH) are typically the speed limits for highways or major roads, which are designed for higher speeds and have fewer pedestrian interactions. Option C (35 MPH) may be a common speed limit for some major streets, but in a residential area, 25 MPH is the recommended speed limit for safety.
