The average bicycle rider can ride at around 15 mph, while someone who regularly rides and trains can hit 20 mph, meaning someone on an electric bike can hit those speeds without even trying.
If the default limit isn’t appropriate for the design of the road, local authorities can specify other limits. Our state law doesn’t have a default speed limit for alleys; you’ll find that ...
Kilometres per hour are on the left and miles per hour on the right.* A speed limit is the limit of speed allowed by law for road vehicles, usually the maximum speed allowed. Occasionally, there is a minimum speed limit. [1] Advisory speed limits also exist, which are recommended but not mandatory speeds. Speed limits are commonly set by the ...
If you need a refresher on the basic state speed limits, here’s a cheat sheet: Urban or residential district or street: 30 MPH. Unpaved country roads: 35 MPH.
