What is the default speed limit in any business or residential district if no other limit is posted?

The default speed limit in any business or residential district is 25 mph if no other limit is posted. This speed limit is established to promote safety in areas where there are typically more pedestrians, cyclists, and children present. In business districts, the increased foot traffic and the presence of shoppers can necessitate a lower speed to reduce the risk of accidents. Similarly, in residential areas, the safety of residents and children playing or walking near the road is prioritized, making 25 mph the standard to ensure drivers remain vigilant and capable of reacting to unexpected situations. This limit helps create a safer environment for everyone in these community-focused areas.
