What is the speed limit on roads that do not have any speed limit signs posted? I am thinking it is 55mph but a guy I work with thinks it is 30mph. I am in Tennessee if that makes a difference.

Depends on state but it typically defaults to a state limit as defined in the code.

In most municipalities there is a default such as "35mph unless otherwise posted". That default works both higher and lower.

In New Hampshire it depends on the housing density and road quality. It may vary from 30 mph in town to 55 on a wide open two lane. NH uses speed limit signs very sparingly so driving reasonably will usually keep you out of trouble. OH - look for and obey the speed limits near schools.

Depends on where you're at. Some places have a prima facie speed limit of 30mph unless otherwise posted. I would check the local municipality web page where you live.

In SC, that is covered in the Drivers Handbook, and when I took my written test, it was one of the questions. Surprised TN didnt cover it in its version of the handbook. |
