What is the speed limit in an urban district?

  1. 25 mph

  2. 35 mph

  3. 45 mph

  4. 55 mph

The correct answer is: 35 mph

Urban districts are designated areas where there are high population densities, typically with closely-spaced buildings and heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic. As such, the speed limit in these areas is often lower than other areas to ensure the safety of all individuals on the road. Option A (25 mph) is too low and is often reserved for school or residential areas. Options C and D (45 mph and 55 mph) are too high and would not be appropriate in an urban district. Therefore, the correct answer is B (35 mph) which is a common speed limit in urban areas.
