Texas Car / Permit practice question · Traffic Laws
Unless another limit is posted, what is the speed limit in a Texas urban district?
Answer choices
- 15 mph
- 45 mph
- 55 mph
- 30 mph— Correct answer
Why this is the answer
Texas sets the limit in an urban district at 30 mph unless a sign says something different. An urban district is land beside a road where homes or businesses stand less than 100 feet apart for at least a quarter mile on either side, so expect crowded streets and drive slower than you would on open road.
