What is the speed limit in residential areas?

20 mph
30 mph
40 mph
50 mph

The correct answer is: 30 mph

The speed limit in residential areas is typically lower than in other areas because there are more people and traffic to watch out for. Speeding in these areas can put pedestrians, children, and pets at risk. Option A is too low as it is more common for school zones or quiet neighborhood streets. Option C and D are too high as they are commonly observed in high-speed zones or highways. Overall, it is important to always pay attention to posted speed limit signs and drive safely in residential areas to prevent accidents and protect the community.
