Difficulty: MediumSpeed Limits and Speed Regulation

Unless otherwise posted, the standard statutory speed limit when driving through an alley is 15 mph.

Answer: Answer

Answer

True
The statement is correct because traffic regulations set a statutory speed limit of 15 mph for alleys unless signage explicitly indicates otherwise, ensuring safety in narrow areas with limited sight lines.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the type of roadway described in the prompt
The roadway specified is an alley without posted speed signs.
Speed limits vary based on statutory classifications when signs are not present.
2
Recall default statutory speed limits for unposted municipal zones
Alleys, blind intersections, and railroad crossings with obstructed views have a standard limit of 15 mph, whereas business and residential districts generally have a limit of 25 mph.
Alleys present restricted visibility and narrow spacing, requiring a lower baseline speed.
3
Evaluate the statement
The statement accurately reflects the statutory speed limit of 15 mph for an alley.
The statement is true according to standard traffic safety regulations.
