What are the speed limits (if any) in your home city in your country in these situations and how do they change under different weather conditions?

• residential neighborhoods
• school zones
• urban (city) highways
• rural (countryside) highways

Hi, I’m Randall, and no matter where you travel in the world, you always going to encounter speed limits, and, uh, here in Utah, it is no different.

In schools zones, that drops to 20 miles an hour. In urban areas or cities, it’s between 65 and 75 miles an hour except in construction zones. It often drops to about 55 miles an hour.

But then in the countryside, in rural areas, the speed limit often goes up to 80 miles an hour, so make sure that you pay attention, you remain safe, and you don’t get a ticket.
