Texas Car / Permit practice question · Speed & Space Management
Unless a different limit is posted, how fast may you drive in an alley in Texas?
Answer choices
- 10 mph
- 15 mph— Correct answer
- 20 mph
- 25 mph
Why this is the answer
The Texas speed limit table lists 15 mph for an alley. It sets the same figure for beaches, and for county roads next to a public beach if the county commissioners court declares it. In an urban district the limit is 30 mph. Speed limits are set by type of road, so 10, 20 and 25 mph do not apply here.
