What is the maximum speed limit in a residential area?

30 km/h
40 km/h
50 km/h
60 km/h

The correct answer is: 50 km/h

A 30 km/h speed limit would be too slow for most residential areas and would be more suitable for school zones or playgrounds where children are present. A speed limit of 40 km/h is also too slow for most residential areas and would be more suitable for narrow or winding roads. A speed limit of 60 km/h is too fast for residential areas and is more suitable for arterial roads or major highways. The maximum speed limit of 50 km/h strikes a balance between the need for drivers to travel at a safe speed in residential areas while also allowing for efficient traffic flow.
