What is the minimum speed limit in a business or residence district?

20 mph
25 mph
30 mph
35 mph

The correct answer is: 25 mph

In general, the speed limit in a business or residence district is lower than on highways and other major roads. This is because there are more potential hazards in these areas, such as pedestrians, parked cars, and driveways. Option A is too low, as that would be more appropriate for a school zone. Options C and D are too high, and would be more appropriate for rural or suburban areas. The correct option, 25 mph, strikes a balance between safety and convenience for drivers.
